One of the most common questions we get asked at Mark O'Brien Chiropractic is “why is my neck sore all of the time?”. You can rejoice in knowing that you’re not alone, and that there is a solution!
Neck pain is one of the most common ailments that we treat at our clinic. It’s even more present in modern life, with handheld devices and increased workplace stressors playing major roles in the frequency and severity of the issue.
Common Causes
Research suggests that the prevalence of handheld devices such as mobile phones and tablets is bad for our posture. This is because, when viewing a device, our neck is lowered, and our shoulders typically roll forward. This position alone does not cause pain and discomfort. However, if you think about how much you use your mobile phone daily and for how long at each sitting, if your posture is not up to standard – that’s when it can become an issue.
