What Screens Are Doing To Your Neck
Looking down for hours puts sustained stress on the cervical spine. Over time that produces stiffness, tension, reduced mobility and, eventually, headaches and shoulder pain. It is one of the most common complaints we see now, and it affects teenagers as much as office workers.
Correcting It
Care focuses on restoring alignment and taking pressure off the spine and surrounding muscles. Gentle adjustments improve mobility and reduce inflammation, while soft tissue work, stretching and postural guidance address the habit that caused it.
Treating the mechanics without changing the posture just means you are back in six months, so both get addressed. Call (540) 426-3066 to schedule.
