Text Neck and Forward Head Posture in Overland Park

Text neck has become one of the most common drivers of neck pain, tightness, and headaches in our Overland Park community, especially for patients who work on laptops or spend long periods on mobile devices.

At Move Muscle & Joint, we do not simply adjust the neck and send you home. We evaluate how your neck, mid-back, rib cage, and shoulders are working together, because posture is a movement pattern, not just a static position.

Common Findings With Text Neck and Forward Head Posture

• forward head and rounded shoulders
• tight upper traps and chest muscles
• stiff thoracic spine
• limited cervical rotation
• fatigue and postural discomfort after sitting

When these patterns stack together, the neck is forced to handle more load than it was designed for. Over time, this leads to irritation, tension, and recurring symptoms.

Our Movement-Based Approach

During your visit, our focus is on restoring both mobility and control.

1. Restoring Joint Motion in the Neck and Mid-Back

Learn how we address the root cause of neck stiffness through chiropractic adjustments and joint mobilization.

2. Improving Soft Tissue Glide and Mobility Restrictions

Myofascial release therapy targets the tight muscles and fascia that restrict normal movement patterns.

3. Retraining Posture, Breathing Mechanics, and Movement Control

Physical therapy exercises teach your body how to maintain proper posture and move efficiently in daily life.

This approach creates better alignment that your body can naturally maintain, instead of relying on frequent passive care.

When Text Neck Symptoms Affect More Than the Neck

Some patients also experience:

• tension headaches
• jaw irritation (TMJ related)
• numbness or tingling into the arms

When symptoms extend into the arms or change with head and neck movement, we perform a deeper mobility and nerve-tension evaluation.
