Smart Phones Cause Bad Posture and Neck Pain - Laurelhurst Chiropractic
Consider, for a moment, the way you hold your body when you are reading your smartphone. To read a mobile device, you will bend your arms by your side, hunch your neck and back over and lean your head forward to read the screen. If you have been caught by the Pokemon GO craze, then the amount of time you have been spending on your mobile device exploring the streets of Portland OR has likely gone up significantly in the last few weeks. Unfortunately, this posture can be causing neck pain and a number of other challenges. The team at Laurelhurst Chiropractic wants to help.
