10 Causes Of Neck Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Cause #7: Texting
Texting may seem like a harmless activity. It is easy to do and can be done anywhere. However, texting and spending too much time on social media can take a serious toll on the neck. Texting or scrolling on the screen of a smartphone puts the neck in a bent position that stretches the neck at the back and compresses it toward the front.
Bending the neck strains both the vertebrae and the neck muscles, which can lead to neck pain. The longer the neck is in this position, the more likely it is that chronic neck pain will develop. To get rid of neck pain, text for only a few minutes at a time.
