Caring For Your Neck and Spine While Playing Pokemon Go - Tips From Your Trusted Upper Cervical Chiropractor in Marysville
If you play a fair amount of Pokemon Go, a trip to your upper cervical chiropractor in Marysville may soon be in order. Believe it or not, while Pokemon Go does a great job of getting people outside and being active, it can wreak a lot of havoc on one's posture. Here at Health First Chiropractic, we specialize in upper cervical treatment for those with spinal conditions caused by poor posture.
How Pokemon Go Can Affect Your Posture
So, just how can playing Pokemon go have a negative impact on your posture? When you're walking around looking for Pokemon, you're staring down at your phone screen. This means your head is hunched over the rest of your spine, which is not only bad posture, but can result in serious cervical spine problems down the road. In fact, this has become such a common problem that it’s actually been named text neck.
Those who suffer from text neck, whether it’s from playing Pokemon Go or from simply using their phones too often, may see the following symptoms:
headaches
neck pain
tight shoulders
arthritis of the neck
decreased range of motion
