This article specifies how a chiropractor, Dr James Carter has warned how he has seen an alarming increase in a condition he has named 'Text Neck', mainly cases of school children and teenagers.
Often patients go to him with just a headache however after further tests it is revealed that many had developed a backwards curve in their spine instead of a normal curve. This causes head, neck, shoulder and back pain.
Many children are developing text neck as young as age 7, due to constantly spending hours hunching and bending over smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices.
