Text neck is a modern-day health concern caused by prolonged periods of looking down at electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. This repetitive posture strains the neck and upper spine, leading to discomfort and potential long-term damage. Text neck can affect individuals of all ages, but it is especially common in those who frequently use digital devices for work, communication, or entertainment. Over time, this condition can impact posture, reduce mobility, and lead to more severe musculoskeletal issues if left untreated.

Recognizing the symptoms of Text Neck is the first step toward effective treatment. Some of the most common signs include:

• Neck pain or stiffness: A dull ache or sharp pain in the neck and shoulders.
  
• Headaches: Often starting at the base of the skull and radiating toward the forehead.
• Reduced mobility: Difficulty moving or rotating the neck comfortably.
• Upper Back Pain: Aches or tension in the upper back and shoulders.
• Forward Head Posture: A noticeable misalignment where the head leans forward excessively.
• Numbness or tingling: Sensations in the arms, hands, or fingers due to nerve compression.

Plantar fasciitis is often the result of repetitive stress and strain on the plantar fascia. Some common causes include:

• Overuse or repetitive movements, such as running or jumping.
• Improper footwear, especially shoes without proper arch support.
• Prolonged standing or walking.
• Obesity, which adds extra strain on the feet.
• Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendons, which can impact foot mechanics.Understanding the root cause of your condition allows us to tailor treatments that address both symptoms and contributing factors.

Plantar Fasciitis is typically diagnosed based on a physical examination and your symptoms. The best way to diagnose Plantar Fasciitis is to visit our chiropractor in Tampa. They will be able to do a thorough examination and help you develop a treatment plan.
