Neck Pain in Crandall
The Impact of ‘Tech Neck’
One of the most common causes of neck pain is poor posture, mainly from using electronic devices like smartphones or laptops for extended periods. Popularly known as “tech neck,” we have seen an increase in patients with a forward head posture from hours sitting at a desk and working at their computer. In many cases, poor ergonomics at their workstation has also contributed to the problem.
The increase in electronic use doesn’t just affect adults; children are using technology at younger ages than ever. Companies market learning games and platforms starting with toddlers! Schools use laptops instead of paper and pencils to go through lessons, and remote learning expanded greatly during COVID.
Backpacks that weigh more than the child carrying them are also an area of concern. The tremendous amount of stress on their developing spines is a major concern of parents who come to our clinic. Our doctors work with you to correct the problem and ease the pressure on your child’s spine.
Addressing More Than Just Symptoms
Every patient who comes through our door is unique. There’s no set number of visits or plan; care is customized and targeted to the individual and their needs. Patients under care for some time will usually respond quickly due to the cumulative effect of our adjustments. Those who have not had care before or who come to see us as the result of some kind of trauma involving soft tissues and ligaments may take multiple visits over weeks or months, depending on the severity of the injury.
Dr. Johnson takes the time to precisely diagnose what’s happening before creating a plan offering more than pain relief. Our goal is to correct the source of the problem and give patients the tools they need to stay healthy and prevent a recurrence.

- Whiplash
