WHat Texting Does to Your Spine

Did you know that your head weighs about 12 pounds?

On average, smartphone users spend two to four hours per day hunched over their devices. This significant amount of time substantially increases the forces on your cervical spine.
At 45 degrees, your head exerts 49 pounds of force, and at 60 degrees, 60 pounds—this is like carrying a child around on your neck for several hours a day.
This extra pressure will lead to a loss in the natural curve of the cervical spine and this decrease in curvature may lead to early wear, tear and degeneration which can result in muscle strain, pinched nerves, herniated discs, headaches, ect...

Pay attention to your posture!
