Tips to avoid 'text neck'

PORTSMOUTH – Living in the age of constant connection by electronic devices has a lot of people literally developing a “pain in the neck.”

This 21st-century problem is being called "text neck," and it is a repetitive strain injury that is caused by hunching over smartphones and tablets.

As people become more tethered to their smartphones, physical therapists are seeing patients come in with muscle pain (cervical spondylitis) in the neck and shoulders and sometimes lower back.

It’s easy for an hour or longer to go by as people are constantly checking their phones or tablets for news, mail and visiting social websites like Facebook.

“The oddly angled neck and rounded shoulders strains the entire upper body,” said David Burchuck, a physical therapist and owner of Lighthouse Physical Therapy in Portsmouth and Dover.

“Looking down and dropping your head forward, changes the natural curvature of your neck,” he said.

Over time, this misalignment can strain muscles and cause wear and tear on the structures of the neck.

According to spine-health.com, a recent study showed that 79 percent of the U.S. population between the ages 18 and 44 have their cell phones with them almost all the time — with only two hours of their waking day spent without their cell phone in hand.

“We see complaints of stiff necks, carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical spine spasms and headaches from muscle tension,” Burchuck said.

And, according to a new calculation published in Surgical Technology International, the weight of the head felt by the spine dramatically increases when flexing the head forward at varying degrees.

An adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds in the neutral position. As the head tilts forward the forces seen by the neck increases to 27 pounds at 15 degrees; 40 pounds at 30 degrees; 49 pounds at 45 degrees; and 60 pounds at 60 degrees.

Looking down at a smartphone with your chin to your chest can put about 60 pounds of force on your neck. This is roughly the weight of four adult-sized bowling balls.

Burchuck recommends setting the timer on the smartphone for 30 to 40 minutes, and when it goes off to get up and stretch.

“Posture is important and simply arching your neck and upper back backward and pulling your shoulders into alignment under your ears can help alleviate stress and muscle pain,” Burchuck said.

He also recommends doing wrist flexion stretches twice a day for 30 seconds. This can be done by placing your fingers on the desk or table and raising the wrists.

He said using a stylus could avoid texting thumb pain.

“If you can, raise the phone up to eye level,” he said. “You can also put an iPad or tablet on a stand.”

The same goes for your desktop computer. Your monitor screen should be at eye level so your head isn’t perpetually dropping and causing muscle strain. Laptops should also be at eye level.

There are text neck apps for Android smartphones.

Text Neck Indicator lets the user know when the phone is held at an acceptable angle for viewing by a green indicator light in the top corner of the phone.

The HeadUp app lets you know the weight pressure on your neck while using smart phone. This app is designed for the people who want to build a good habit of using a smartphone.

An app for the iPhone for text neck is not available yet.

Heavy school bags, a ticking time bomb for health: Experts

Experts have warned repeatedly that a growing number of children are developing irreversible problems of backache because of the heavy weight of school bags. A lot of school children suffer from back pain and doctors reported a rise in cases of spinal pain among children. Prof Babita Ghai from the Department of Anaesthesia, and Consultant, Pain Clinic, PGIMER, stated this during a press conference to address the issue. 

“School bags way heavier than the recommended 10-15 per cent of the body weight of children are contributing to the surge,” she added. “Presently, most of the students of government and private schools carry bags weighing much more than what they ideally should be carrying according to the guidelines,” lamented Sumita Chaudhary, teacher and parent of a 4-year-old. Health experts are of opinion that children risk long-term hazards and permanent damage if they regularly carry more than 15 per cent of their body weight over their shoulders, he added. 

Doctors term the problem as a ‘healthcare timebomb’ that will lead to years of misery in later life. “If children are suffering from back pain at such tender age than there is high probability that they will have bear it for the next 60 to 70 years, which leads to an enormous physical and emotional cost,” remarked Dr Vishal Kumar, department of orthopedics, PGIMER. “Carrying heavy bags during growth of children’s skeletons can cause lasting damage,” Dr Vishal remarked. He added that many children carry their bags on one shoulder or on the crook of their elbow, which puts a great strain on the spine. 

“Early slip disc, spondylitis, spondylolisthesis, persistent back ache, early degeneration of spine and postural scoliosis are just some of the problems that these children face,” he remarked. Poonam Malhotra, parent of a 6-year-old student, said, “Schools prescribe so many textbooks that bags get so heavy. Add sports equipment, art books, and extra pair of clothes and children are totally overloaded.” Malhotra said her son is suffering from persistent back and neck pain and has been warned by doctors to carry less weight on his shoulders.  

Dr Ravi Gupta, professor, department of orthopedics, Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32, Chandigarh, added, “Parents and schools are urged to keep an eye on children’s physical activity. A physically fit child who has strong muscles is much less likely to suffer from back and neck problems due to heavy school bags than a child who is involved in no or insignificant physical activity.” Dr Gupta added that there is an urgent need to have specialised physical activity plans for school children within and outside of schools, wherein children below the age of 16 years are made to participate in regular physical activities like running, sports, swimming and cycling. 

Awareness programme

PGIMER is planning to hold awareness programmes so that both, the students and teachers, know  how the school bag weight is actually creating problems like backache, shoulder pain and headache among students, informed the public relation officer of the PGI.

This Is The Reason For Your Neck Pain In Front Of Computer Screen

Do you suffer from persistent pain in the neck as you sit and work for long hours in front of computer screens? Well, the pain aggravates as you spend more and more time staring at e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.

This happens because we spend a lot of time sitting in wrong postures while using gadgets, which puts pressure on our backbone and the connecting muscles and ligaments.

You may apply heat to the affected areas, keep your movements contained, or take pain relievers to get instant relief from neck or cervical spondylitis. But in the long run, you need to change the way you sit in front desktops or laptops. So, here we share some tips about how one should sit in front of computers.

1. Try to sit with both feet touching the floor: If you just follow this, it will discourage slouching more than crossing your legs or twisting them around the bottom of the chair.

2. Position your monitor: Your monitor should be about an arm's length from you, and centered in a way you look directly at the screen with your neck in a relaxed position. The top portion of the monitor should be about 2-3 inches above your eye level.

3. You can adjust chair seat and back: Try to adjust the position of the seat in a way your back gets support and your knees be no higher than your hips. You can also use a small cushion behind your lower back.

4. Position your keyboard: You shouldn't need to twist your body to type on it, so it should be centered in front of you. It should be placed close so that you can use it with your shoulders relaxed and your elbows close to your body.

5. Sit straight: It happened to each one of us that when we get involved in what we are doing, we forget our posture. Check your posture and correct your position as soon as it strikes your mind. Make a habit to sit straight.

6. Adjust your keyboard: If you've a laptop, buy a keyboard so that you can move and adjust it independently. Tilt in a way you can access it comfortably. Keep your hand in a neutral position.

Texting can be a pain in the neck

Recently, there was a WhatsApp message that featured four youngsters sitting together totally engrossed in their mobiles. The message indicated that they were conversing in GenNext style - no talking, only texting. While it was forwarded, a hidden message was almost missed: Are we readying a generation that will end up with posture disorders, arthritis or cervical spondylosis?

Doctors said that if this was a habit or routine, it would affect the general health of kids. Experts in the West have already begun talking of text neck syndrome and the influences of this addiction on teenage brains. Well known neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel in his book `Brainstorm: The power and purpose of the teenage brain' said that between 12 and 24, the brain changes in `important and often maddening' ways. This development influences teenage behavior.

"There is a huge problem among our kids who are busy viewing things on screen rather than talking to others around them. If you notice their posture, the neck is always bent while they text, chat or play games. Instead of talking, they are busy messaging," said Dr Sachidananda Kamath, former national president of Indian Association of Paediatrics.

Think desk jobs are a pain in the neck? You literally may be right!

Going to work each day puts more wear and tear on the body than most people realize.
And that’s true even when their 40-hour work week requires nothing more than the seemingly safe activity of sitting at a desk all day.

“We tend to think that people with active lifestyles – the weekend warrior types – are the only ones who have to worry about physical injuries,” says Dr. Vladimir Alexander, an orthopedic surgeon and founder of Alexander Orthopaedic Associates.

“But sitting in front of a computer all day also can lead to numerous issues, from back problems to an aching neck. And over time, what start out as mild symptoms can develop into more serious, and even debilitating, conditions.”

For example, lower back pain is one of the leading causes of disability.
“People working at a computer slouch, they slump with their heads leaning forward, they don’t take breaks,” Alexander says. “None of that is conducive to good health.”
He says some of the typical conditions full-time work leads to and ways to alleviate the pain include:

• Back problems. About 80 percent of the U.S. population suffers from back problems, making that one of the more common ailments people face. That percentage could seem high until you realize just about every full-time job – not just those that involve heavy lifting – can cause stress to the back. For those tied to a desk and computer all day, one way to alleviate some of the pain and problems is to be sure to maintain good posture and to use a chair that supports your back. Getting away from the computer periodically also helps.
  
• Neck and shoulder problems. Sedentary jobs really can be a pain in the neck, not to mention the shoulders. Jobs that require repetitive motions – which can include factory jobs or working a cash register – also can be detrimental to the neck and shoulders (Cervical Spondylitis).As with back problems, proper posture can help. So can taking breaks.
• Hip and knee problems. Sitting for hours on end isn’t the only thing that can give rise to work-related maladies. Many people, such as restaurant workers, nurses and flight attendants, are on their feet all day. They may experience knee and hip problems from all that standing and walking. Comfortable shoes and good posture can help, as can orthopedic care.

“The physical difficulties people suffer at work are going to vary depending on the type of job you do and your particular constitution,” Alexander says. “But regardless of what’s ailing you, regular medical care is important to being able to treat the underlying problem and to staying healthy.”
