Tech Neck
Dr. Chase from The Athlete Stop
Tech Neck is a new phenomenon that will affect our youth in the years to come if it is not corrected. It will be especially bad for the athlete that does over the head activities such as tennis and volleyball. As you can see from the figure below, you would add extra pressure to the cervical spine and this will cause early development of arthritis in the neck. This will also decrease the range of motion in the shoulder due to bad biomechanics.
