Smartphone Use Is A Real Pain in The Neck

Smartphone use often leads to awkward postures that can elevate the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and pain. A recent research review found that users of such devices often adopt a more forward head posture, especially while seated. This alteration in posture can place added stress on the upper trapezius, erector spinae, and the neck extensor muscles, potentially raising the risk for musculoskeletal pain in the cervical and thoracic spine.
