If you work at a desk in Cabarrus County, chances are you’ve felt it—tightness in your neck, aching shoulders, or even headaches by the end of the day. This modern condition, often called “tech neck,” is becoming one of the most common causes of chronic pain.

What Is Tech Neck?
Tech neck results from prolonged forward head posture—looking down at screens for hours at a time. Over time, this creates excessive strain on the spine.
For every inch your head moves forward, the stress on your neck significantly increases.
