What is Text Neck?
Text neck is a condition affecting people who spend significant time looking down at their phones or other electronic devices. This prolonged hunched posture strains the muscles and ligaments in the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, and headaches. The good news is that our wellness team at Kaufman Chiropractic are ready to help! With locations in Bothell and Monroe, we offer same day appointments for your convenience. We know sometimes, the pain can’t wait!

- Pain and stiffness in the neck and upper back
- Headaches at the base of the skull

Causes of Text Neck
The constant downward tilt of the head while using electronic devices puts a significant strain on the neck muscles. Over time, these strained muscles can lead to pain, tightness, and inflammation.
