Tech Neck - Spinal Health Week 2025
Heads Up on Tech Neck
From Your Holistic Chiropractors at Nomad Chiropractic in Mosman
What Is Tech Neck?
Tech neck (also called “text neck” or Tension Neck Syndrome) is becoming one of the most common posture-related problems we see—not just in students, but in adults, kids, and teens alike. It happens when we spend extended periods with our heads tilted forward while using phones, tablets, laptops, or gaming consoles.
Over time, this poor posture can:
Strain the neck and shoulders
Cause persistent headaches
Contribute to upper back pain
Disrupt the natural curves of the spine
Lead to long-term degeneration or spinal wear
Who's at Risk?
Everyone. If you:
Work at a desk or from home
Scroll your phone in bed
Game, stream or study on your laptop
Use screens for leisure or school…
…then tech neck could already be affecting you or your family. At Nomad Chiropractic, we’ve seen it in kids as young as six.
Why It Matters
Untreated tech neck can impact focus, mood, physical activity, and even sleep. In children and teens, it can affect development and lead to long-term spinal issues. In adults, it can reduce mobility, increase daily pain, and contribute to mental and emotional fatigue.
And despite the discomfort, most people don’t seek help—especially students and parents, who often think it’ll pass on its own. But the earlier we address it, the easier it is to resolve.
How We Help at Nomad Chiropractic
We take a whole-person approach to correcting tech neck:
Gentle, effective adjustments to restore spinal alignment
Soft tissue therapies to release tension
Movement and rehab exercises to support lasting change
Posture coaching for school, work, and home
Lifestyle tips for screen habits that actually work
Our care is medication-free, non-invasive, and tailored to your life and your body.
For Parents & Students
Tech neck starts early. Many kids now spend hours a day on screens for school, fun, or both. Without help, this can change how their spine grows—and affect everything from confidence to sleep quality.
At Nomad Chiropractic we work with families to:
Support screen-time balance
Teach kids how to hold their devices right
Encourage regular breaks and stretches
Build habits that grow strong, aligned spines
Let’s make spinal health a natural part of growing up.
10 Tips to Protect Your Spine
(for All Ages)
Sit tall – Shoulders relaxed, feet flat, head up.
Hold screens at eye level – Don’t crane your neck downward.
Limit screen time, especially for kids and during leisure hours.
Use both hands – Alternate when texting or scrolling.
Avoid walking and scrolling – Be present and upright.
Stretch regularly – Neck rolls, shoulder shrugs, spinal twists.
Set up your space – Screen at eye level, chair supportive.
Get moving – Daily activity supports spine and mental health.
Model healthy posture – Kids mimic what they see.
Book a spinal check – Prevention is better than correction.
