Text Neck Relief in Lake Forest Estates, La Vergne TN
"Text neck" is the everyday strain caused by hours spent looking down at a phone or laptop, which places dramatically more load on the neck than a neutral head position. Over time that repeated forward-head posture can lead to chronic neck pain, tension headaches, and stiff shoulders.
