Since the term, “Text Neck” was coined in 2008, we’ve been seeing more patients with neck pain and headaches. “Text Neck” or now “Tech Neck” is felt to be a repetitive strain injury from constantly looking down to type or read text messages, answer emails or checking social media sites. First, a rare interview with Ty Warner. He’s the creator of Beanie Babies, a popular children’s toy in the late 1990’s. Ty not only eliminated his symptoms, but developed a simple toy called the, “Peek-A-Boo” to prevent text neck from happening. We’ll then hear from spine surgeon, Dr. Ken Hansraj. He’ll discuss the risks, typical symptoms, treatments, and prevention for text neck.
