Effective Care for Tech Neck in Hoboken
Tech Neck — sometimes called text neck — refers to neck and upper back pain caused by prolonged forward head posture, typically from looking down at smartphones, tablets, computers, or other screens. This posture places excess stress on your cervical spine and supporting muscles, which can lead to discomfort, stiffness, and loss of mobility over time.
At Hudson Family Chiropractic, Physical Therapy & Acupuncture in Hoboken, NJ, we help patients from Hudson County and beyond find effective relief from Tech Neck using a combination of chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, posture-focused care, and other evidence-based therapies.
What Causes Tech Neck?
Tech Neck arises largely from repetitive poor posture, especially when the head is tilted forward to view screens. This sustained position increases the load on your neck and upper back muscles, leading to:
- Muscle strain and fatigue from forward head positioning
- Compression of cervical joints and nerves due to altered spinal alignment
- Reduced range of motion and stiffness over time
- Headaches and shoulder tension linked to postural imbalance
Every inch your head moves forward increases the effort your neck muscles must exert, sometimes dramatically, ultimately causing chronic pain if left untreated.
How We Treat Tech Neck at Our Hoboken Clinic
At Hudson Family Chiropractic, we take a holistic, personalized approach to Tech Neck relief. Our team of experienced chiropractors and therapists with over 20 years of experience, assess your posture, spinal alignment, and movement patterns to design a plan that fits your needs.
🎯 Chiropractic Adjustments
Precise adjustments help restore proper cervical spine alignment, reduce nerve stress, and improve joint mobility to relieve neck and upper back pain.
💪 Physical Therapy & Postural Training
Targeted rehabilitation exercises strengthen supporting muscles and retrain posture to support long-term neck health and reduce strain from digital device use.
🧘 Acupuncture (Optional Add-On)
Acupuncture may be used to support pain modulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote overall comfort during treatment.
🌀 Spinal Decompression & Supportive Care
While classically used for disc-related back and nerve issues, spinal decompression techniques may be integrated when disc pressure contributes to neck discomfort or altered posture, providing gentle relief by reducing compression on spinal structures.
