Neck Pain Treatment in Winnipeg
Neck pain is becoming increasingly common, affecting people earlier in life due to the widespread use of technology. From texting to scrolling, the forward head posture associated with screen time (also known as “tech neck”) can wreak havoc on your cervical spine.
Consider this: for every inch your head moves forward while looking at a device, your neck endures an extra ten pounds of pressure! Over time, this strain can lead to discomfort and stiffness. Fortunately, there are natural and effective ways to address and prevent neck pain.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Here are some of the everyday activities and habits that contribute to neck pain:
- Prolonged sitting
- Sleeping on your stomach
- Poor posture
- Whiplash from car accidents or injuries
While the pain you feel is a symptom, the root issue often lies in the misalignment of your spine. This misalignment can lead to additional discomfort in your upper back, shoulders, jaw, and even frequent headaches.

Practical Tips to Manage Discomfort
There are also some small things you can do to alleviate your discomfort at home. Here are some tips:
- Maintain good posture: Keep your head aligned with your spine, whether sitting or standing.
- Raise your devices: Hold your phone at eye level and position your computer screen so your gaze falls naturally at its center.
- Support your arms: Use a pillow under your elbows when using handheld devices to reduce strain.
By being mindful of these habits, you can reduce the stress on your neck and promote long-term spinal health.
