Which specialist treats text neck?

Text neck describes strain linked with prolonged forward head and rounded-shoulder positions while using a phone, tablet, or computer. A physiotherapist can examine neck movement, shoulder control, posture, and muscle endurance. Neck Pain, Neck Stiffness, or Upper Back Pain may occur with this pattern, but these symptoms can also have other causes.

Book a physiotherapy assessment if discomfort keeps returning or interferes with work, sleep, or daily activity. Treatment may include Postural Correction Therapy, movement exercises, and changes to screen height, viewing distance, and break habits. A Workplace Ergonomic Assessment can help identify workstation factors. Chiropractic Adjustment may be discussed, but the clinician should first check whether it suits your symptoms.

Seek prompt medical assessment after significant injury, or if neck pain is accompanied by arm weakness, loss of coordination, fever, severe headache, or new bladder or bowel problems. Arrange a doctor review when symptoms worsen, persist despite sensible changes, or regularly wake you from sleep.

Ask which findings support a postural strain, whether an examination or imaging is needed, which exercises are appropriate, and how to adjust your screen setup without aggravating symptoms.
