Modern man spends more time in the unnatural position with his head down, staring at the screen of a computer monitor or mobile phone. The longer the period of the overvoltage neck, the higher the risk damage to the cervical vertebrae Which becomes irreversible in cases when a person applies for a long time to help a doctor.
The number of such injuries is growing at a pace that experts have already sounded the alarm. In some cases, the neck is so "accustomed" to the unnatural position that a person can not straighten without pain in her normal position. One British chiropractor says that his clinic treats thousands of patients damage to the cervical vertebrae Which can also cause pain in the head, shoulders, arms and wrists.
The number of patients has increased even more due to the great popularity of smartphones and tablet PCs, which the surge came in the last few years. Painful condition develops due to prolonged stress on the vertebrae and neck tissue that occur after long hours of work with gadgets.
"Imagine that you are only 10 minutes at a time sitting on his haunches, allowing the load on the ankle, - says Dr. Rachel Lancaster of Freedom Back Clinics in Leeds. - Once you get up, the pain and discomfort in the legs will show you how unnatural It has this posture. All the same thing happens to our necks. But we hold in this position much longer, so that the body gradually adapts to the stress. Then have the normal position of the neck becomes painful. "
