Screens are part of life for work, school, and connection. We also see how screen habits affect posture, alignment, and nervous system health.
How Screen Time Affects the Spine
Looking down shifts the head forward and rounds the shoulders. This increases load on the neck and upper back and can lead to tightness, reduced mobility, headaches, and fatigue.
The Nervous System Connection
When alignment is off, nerve pathways can become irritated or compressed. Many people notice brain fog, poor sleep quality, lower energy, and changes in stress response. Adjustments help restore alignment so the nervous system can do its job.
Care and Simple Daily Habits
Chiropractic care can help:
- Improve posture and spinal balance
- Reduce muscle tightness and stiffness
- Restore flexibility in the neck and shoulders
- Support clear nerve communication
Try these tips:
- Raise screens to eye level
- Take movement breaks every 30 to 45 minutes
- Sit with hips, knees, and elbows near 90 degrees
- Breathe deeply to keep ribs and spine mobile
- Plan tech-free moments each day
For children and teens, gentle pediatric care supports healthy patterns as they grow.
