A report by Dr. Sheikh Sadiul Islam, published on May 13, 2026, highlights that prolonged mobile phone use is causing increased pressure on the neck, a condition known as 'text neck syndrome'. The article notes that around 65–70 percent of people experience neck pain at some point in their lives, and 20–30 percent of adults suffer from it annually. The problem is growing rapidly among young people due to extended use of mobile phones and computers.
The report explains that when the head tilts forward, the effective weight on the neck increases significantly—from about 12 kilograms at a 15-degree tilt to as much as 25–27 kilograms at 60 degrees. This added strain can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, headaches, nerve compression, and cervical spine degeneration. Many young patients are now seeking medical help for such conditions.
To prevent these issues, the article advises maintaining proper posture, holding the phone at eye level, taking regular breaks, exercising the neck and shoulders, and avoiding high pillows during sleep.
