Did you know that excessive use of smartphones can result in health problems such as Text Neck or DeQuervain’s disease? This condition occurs when the neck muscles become strained due to abnormal postures, resulting in pain that can make it difficult for the patient to use their phone. Fortunately, our physical therapists can assist by offering exercises that help loosen the neck muscles and reduce pain. Research shows that combining spinal mobilization and exercise therapy can lead to significant benefits. Add rest and ultrasound to alleviate pain and inflammation, while stretching exercises and ice packs can help reduce stiffness and edema in the early stages of the disease. It’s important to remember that taking care of your neck health is crucial in preventing long-term complications.
