Prolonged Screen Use and Poor Posture Linked to Neck and Spine Strain
Extended periods of looking down at phones, laptops, and other screens can strain the neck and spine, leading to symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and muscle fatigue. Experts warn that poor posture, common among professionals and students, may cause conditions such as 'text neck' and alter cervical spine alignment over time. Studies link prolonged device use to increased neck discomfort, emphasizing the importance of maintaining proper posture to prevent chronic pain and spinal issues.
