While technology offers countless benefits in terms of learning and connectivity, it has also given rise to a modern health issue known as "Tech Neck." As a neurologist practicing in Miyapur, Dr. Venkata Harin has observed a significant rise in the number of teenage patients reporting neck pain, stiffness, and related complications directly linked to excessive gadget use. This blog explores what tech neck is, why it's becoming increasingly common among teens, its symptoms, long-term effects, and practical ways to prevent and manage it. What Is Tech Neck?
