Neck Pain For Young Adults

0:00
neck pain in young adults has become
0:02
increasingly problematic affecting over
0:05
50% of young adults where they
0:07
experience at least one episode of neck
0:09
pain throughout the year it affects
0:11
their work affects their home life
0:13
relationships hobbies all can be
0:15
affected and the primary source of this
0:18
problem is screen time looking down on
0:21
the phone on the computer on the laptop
0:23
on the tablet whatever it may be what
0:26
typically happens is it affects the
0:27
posture it causes something called
0:29
forward head posture when we’re talking
0:31
about forward head posture we’re talking
0:32
about the head in relationship to the
0:34
shoulders moving forward forward like
0:37
this and also flexion this puts a ton of
0:40
biomechanical stress on the joints on
0:43
the muscles causing them to lock down
0:46
causing inflammation in the tissues
0:49
increasing loading on those structures
0:51
makes them fatigue very quickly the good
0:54
news is there’s definitely a way to
0:56
combat this reverse it and prevent it
0:59
from getting worse and worse over time
1:01
and there’s a couple different things I
1:02
want to point out which are highly
1:04
important number one is changing the
1:06
ergonomics changing the position of your
1:09
laptop your phone your desk station
1:12
whatever it may be so you’re not in this
1:14
forward head position as well also
1:16
limiting the the amount of time you
1:18
spend at one time on these devices can
1:20
be very helpful as well another thing to
1:22
consider is stretching throughout the
1:24
day stretching both the neck the head
1:26
the upper back as well as simple
1:28
exercises like a chin tuck retracting
1:30
your chin to help combat all that
1:33
loading on the on the spine and get
1:34
those muscles stronger and more flexible
1:36
and then lastly making sure that things
1:39
are not restricted in the cervical spine
1:42
or the thoracic spine make sure things
1:44
are moving properly and that’s where I
1:46
come into play removing any type of
1:48
restrictions in the joint making sure
1:50
there’s proper motion is paramount in
1:53
keeping the health of the spine and
1:55
keeping those bones moving properly and
1:57
in the right position if you’re
1:59
suffering with any type of neck pain
2:01
headaches upper back pain a lot of the
2:03
times it does come out of the posture
2:05
