DUBAI, United Arab Emirates-Tuesday 23 October 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]
In today’s fast paced world, digital forms of communication are gaining pace over conventional methods. While most people use cell phones for varied reasons, chances are that slouching to a mobile phone can lead to several disorders.
“Recently, I visited a patient who complained of severe upper back pain. He woke up and was experiencing severe, acute, upper back muscle strain. While nothing had changed in his daily lifestyle, he confessed using his mobile phone longer as compared to the past few months. It was clear that the pain was due to the long hours he spent hunching over his cell phone. He was diagnosed with Text Neck Syndrome,” said Dr. Asha Thomas, Medical Director for Doctor on Call who serves as a specialist with Doctor On Call - a 24/7 Medical Services company that provides healthcare services at homes and hotels.
