The twentieth century saw the emergence of “housewife’s knee” and “miner’s cough”, and if one comes from a different social class, one may also suffer from “tennis elbow”. The new era seems to have a new occupational disease, and it’s one that everyone can suffer from, regardless of race. It stems from a uniquely modern habit of walking while looking down at text messages, the Times reported on Nov. 22. That’s why the name of the disease is “texting neck”. Spine surgeons say they are increasingly concerned about the dangers of smartphones due to people’s posture, especially among teenagers, and that the effects will last a long time. Kenneth Hansrajer, head of spine surgery at the New York Spine Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine Institute in New York, said, “We’re not going to be able to do that. Hansraj said, “The neck is a wonderful part of the body that can do all kinds of movements, but if you’re looking down for four hours a day straight, that puts stress on it.” Hansraj published a paper that analyzed the forces on the neck that continuously supports the head at the same angle. In the paper, which appeared in the American journal Surgical Techniques International, Hansraj concluded that the spine feels five times the actual weight of the head when the angle of the head is held at 60 degrees. Hansraj says he is already seeing the consequences of this posture. I’m a spine surgeon,” he says. I see 100 patients a week, and I must have seen more than 30,000 patients so far. This habit is gradually becoming a problem, especially among young people. They come in with either neck pain or back pain.” Jonathan Dilling, a spokesman and consulting orthopaedic surgeon at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, is not surprised by the suggestion that keeping the head in one position for long periods of time can cause problems. Dilling does not find it surprising. He says, “Any excessive activity in one particular position is harmful.” If that’s not convincing enough, there’s another corollary to “texting neck” that teens will find even more convincing: multiple low hair messages are likely to make their necks resemble turtles. Nicola? Joss is a skin care expert for celebrities. She says she’s developing a very strange trend among her clients. She says, “I definitely see a lot of my clients’ necks showing premature aging due to smartphone use. The result is not necessarily an increase in wrinkles, but rather sagging skin that looks very aged.” Fortunately, Hansraj says there are very simple solutions for both a sore back and a neck with sagging skin. “You don’t necessarily have to bend your neck, just lift your phone up a little bit and let your eyes look down.” Problem solved? Maybe. Unless there are other ailments, as mentioned in the recent medical literature. No matter what posture you adopt, you can develop this disease. It causes joint pain. Are you ready to suffer from “iPad shoulder”? In the E era, in addition to “texting neck” and “iPad shoulder”, new and trendy “occupational diseases” are rapidly emerging.
