The burning between your shoulder blades, the headache that arrives after lunch, the neck that won't turn one way. It isn't mysterious — it's load.
Tech neck, also known as "text neck" or "computer neck," is a modern postural condition caused by prolonged forward head positioning while using digital devices. Hours spent hunched over smartphones, laptops, and tablets place excessive stress on your cervical spine.
The problem: For every inch your head moves forward, it adds approximately 10 pounds of pressure to your neck. Over time, this creates muscle tension, nerve irritation, and structural misalignment that can lead to chronic pain and dysfunction.
If you work in downtown Oakland and spend your days at a desk or staring at screens, tech neck is likely affecting your quality of life. The good news? Chiropractic care can help restore alignment and eliminate pain.
Are you experiencing any of these common tech neck symptoms?
These symptoms develop gradually as your postural muscles weaken and your cervical spine becomes misaligned. Early intervention through chiropractic care prevents long-term damage and restores your natural alignment.
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your posture, spinal alignment, and cervical spine function. Digital imaging and hands-on assessment help us identify the root cause of your tech neck.
Using trauma-informed techniques, we deliver precise adjustments to restore cervical spine alignment. Our doctors use both traditional and modern adjustment methods tailored to your comfort level.
We teach you proper ergonomic positioning for your workspace and provide exercises to strengthen postural muscles. These habits prevent tech neck from returning.
