Tech Neck
Neck pain is extremely common. Some studies estimate the 80% of people experience significant neck pain at some point in their lives with an annual incidence estimated at about 20% of the population at any given time and these numbers are higher in office and computer heavy occupations. The number of people experiencing neck pain continues to grow and is likely correlated with our increased use of computers, tablets and smart phones. “Tech neck” is an epidemic of increasing neck pain as a result of our increased dependence on technology and how it affects our posture and the structures that support our neck and spine.
