Looking at Screens Incorrectly Causes Spinal Pain: So, What Should We Do? 🤔

Today, with the increase in the use of computers, tablets, and phones, spending long periods in front of a screen has become inevitable. However, the most common mistake made during this time is looking at screens at the wrong angle.

• Tilting the head forward → Places more load than normal on the neck and back muscles. In the long run, this leads to forward head posture and cervical straightening.

• Shoulders slumping forward → Shortens chest muscles while weakening back muscles, increasing the risk of hunched posture and postural disorders.

• Habitual slouching → Disrupts the spine’s natural curves, leading to postural issues such as spinal curvature, lordosis, or flat back.

Dr. Binder says, “Healthy posture depends on the proper movement and alignment of your hips, spine, neck, and jaw, as well as the surrounding muscles that support you.”

The Importance of Upright Posture

At this point, upright posture plays a critical role in both health and quality of life:

1. Protects spinal health → Proper posture maintains the natural curves of the spine and reduces the load on joints and muscles.

2. Prevents muscle pain → Prevents unnecessary strain on neck, back, and lower back muscles. Provides protection against risks such as lumbar straightening and scoliosis.

3. Supports focus → When the body is relaxed, mental performance improves.

4. Reflects confidence → A person who stands tall feels more energetic and projects a stronger presence to others.

Solution: Small Steps, Big Differences

• Regularly practice posture correction exercises.

• During work or study breaks, do short posture exercises.

• While using screens for long periods, adjust the screen height to eye level.

• Use posture correctors if needed.(Kodgem Straight is an AI-powered posture device that reminds you to stand tall and alerts you with gentle vibrations.)

Remember, when the symptoms of posture disorder are recognized early and the causes of posture disorder are correctly addressed, it doesn’t become a permanent problem. Especially in children, if posture issues are not prevented early, they can lead to serious spinal problems later in life.
