Dr. Mohit Muttha, Consultant Endoscopic Spine Surgeon in Bibwewadi, Pune, sheds light on the alarming rise of “Text Neck” — a condition caused by prolonged smartphone use that leads to chronic neck pain, postural changes, and early degeneration of the cervical spine. In his recently published article on Surf and Drive, Dr. Muttha explains how constant downward gazing at phones significantly increases stress on the neck, sometimes exceeding 60 pounds of pressure. He emphasizes early diagnosis, ergonomic awareness, and integrated treatment through physiotherapy and posture correction to prevent long-term spinal damage in today’s digitally-driven lifestyle.
