Tech Neck: The Modern Epidemic and How Chiropractic Care in Pleasant Grove Can Help

April 18, 20253 min read

Have you ever caught yourself hunched over your phone or laptop for hours?
If so, you may already be feeling the effects of what chiropractors now call "Tech Neck." This modern condition is more than just a sore neck — it can lead to long-term spinal issues, headaches, shoulder pain, and even poor posture.

At The Chiro in Pleasant Grove, Utah, Dr. Bruce R. Lowry helps patients of all ages reverse the damage caused by tech overuse and find long-term relief through natural, non-invasive chiropractic care.


🤳 What Is Tech Neck?

Tech Neck refers to the neck pain and tension that develop from looking down at smartphones, tablets, and laptops for extended periods. The average human head weighs 10–12 pounds, but when tilted forward at a 45-degree angle (common when texting or scrolling), that weight increases to nearly 50 pounds of pressure on your spine!

Over time, this can cause:

  • Chronic neck and shoulder pain

  • Reduced neck mobility

  • Muscle fatigue

  • Tension headaches

  • Forward head posture


🧑‍💼 Who Is at Risk?

Just about everyone — but especially:

  • Office workers

  • Students

  • Teenagers glued to their phones

  • Remote employees working from couches or beds

  • Gamers and content creators

And it’s not just adults. Dr. Lowry sees teenagers and even younger children in Pleasant Grove developing spinal alignment issues from excessive screen time.


💆 How Chiropractic Care Helps Tech Neck

Dr. Lowry is an excellent chiropractor. I've been a patient of his for a few years now and feel so much better with the adjustments he's done on my back and spine. I recommend him to all my friends in the area!

I really enjoyed my visit with Dr. Lowry. It was my first time being adjusted and I was a bit nervous. He talked me through everything he was doing and helped me understand there was nothing to be nervous about. I really appreciated it because he made the whole experience really smooth and enjoyable.
