    Text neck is a term coined in 2008 to describe repeated stress injuries caused by excessive use of handheld electronic devices. Prolonged texting and looking down at devices can lead to spinal misalignment, disc herniation, and loss of lung capacity over time. Some recommendations include taking short breaks every 20 minutes when using tablets or laptops, raising devices to eye level, communicating verbally when possible, and using posture reminder apps to avoid text neck.
