Parents: is your teen hunched over their phone like this?
Teens today spend hours looking down at their phones, tablets, and laptops—and that constant forward head posture can lead to what’s known as text neck. When the head tilts forward, the pressure on the cervical spine increases dramatically, placing strain on muscles, ligaments, and joints. Over time, this can contribute to neck pain, headaches, poor posture, shoulder tension, and even early spinal degeneration. Because teens’ bodies are still developing, these habits can create long-term issues if not addressed early. Encouraging regular breaks, better posture, and chiropractic care can help protect growing spines and keep teens feeling well and developing properly. Santaquin Chiropractic
