Text Neck Syndrome: How Hilliard Can Avoid Digital Strain

Phones, laptops, and tablets keep us connected, but they also bring a modern challenge: Text Neck Syndrome.

Caused by spending too much time looking down at screens, it’s become increasingly common in Hilliard. At 614 Chiropractic, we see how digital strain affects posture, joint mobility, and tissue health—and we help patients reverse it.

What Is Text Neck?

Your head weighs about 10–12 pounds in a neutral position, but every inch forward adds up to 60 pounds of stress on the neck and spine. Over time this leads to:

• Neck and upper back pain

• Headaches and shoulder tension

• Tingling or numbness in the arms

• Posture problems and stiffness

How Chiropractic Helps

We use gentle adjustments to restore spinal alignment and relieve pressure from forward head posture. Benefits include improved joint mobility, circulation, posture, and nervous system support. With the Omni Adjusting Table, adjustments are precise, safe, and comfortable for all ages.

Prevention Tips

• Hold screens at eye level

• Take breaks every 20–30 minutes

• Stretch your neck and shoulders

• Strengthen core muscles

• Adjust workstations ergonomically

At 614 Chiropractic in Hilliard, we’ve helped countless patients improve posture, reduce tension, and feel better with both care and daily habit changes.
