We may rarely find people who don’t love their smartphone and there is no wrong with it. Living in a digital age, the smartphone has become a need more than just a want. However, there may be something not right with the way you use it. It may sound weird, but without having a proper form, the use of cell phones for a longer period may cause a slew of issues ranging from dry eyes to painful neck and much more. Luckily, you don’t have to give up your phone completely to keep these problems distant. Just the small in the way of its usage can make all the difference.

Let’s have a look at 5 Chronic Smartphone Injuries:

Neck Strains

Neck strain is an injury to the muscles and tendons that support and move the head and neck. The neck is susceptible to injury because it is capable of an extensive range of motion. It is, as a result, less stable than many other body areas. Also, the neck muscles are affected by the motion of nearly all other areas of the body.

Seeing a doctor is essential for all neck strains with serious injury or severe, persistent, or unexplained symptoms or problems. Supportive self-care is often enough with the more common minor injuries for someone to have a complete recovery.

Golfer’s Elbow

Also known as Medial epicondylitis, it is a condition caused by irritation or inflammation of a tendon. The affected person may typically experience pain at the time of bending the wrist towards the forearm.

Nobody other than a doctor can diagnose Golfer’s Elbow, followed by a physical examination as that is necessary.

Trigger Thumb

Trigger finger is caused because of the inflammation of the tendons that provides flexibility to your fingers, resulting in finger pain and tenderness. In this condition, your finger’s movement gets limited and it becomes difficult to bend and straighten your finger.

Your doctor can recommend surgery, in case the at-home treatments and medications don’t work.

Back Pain

Nowadays back pain has become a very common problem and affects most of us at some point in time during our lives.

Back pain may range from a muscle aching to a stabbing or burning sensation. Furthermore, it is possible that the pain even worsens with bending, radiating down your leg affecting standing, twisting, walking, or lifting.

In 85 percent of the cases, the pain gets healed without surgery. It is better to talk to your doctor in case you are experiencing back pain.

Crooked Pinky

This condition is caused when a person holds the smartphone bending the fingers for a long time and incorrectly. This looks usual however it may probably cause ‘Osteoarthritis’ —breaking down of the cartilage that underlies your bones.

Instead of neglecting this minor issue, it is advisable to seek the consultation of a medical expert.

Smartphones indeed are useful yet may have a variety of physical as well as mental impact. Hence using the smartphone only in case of any work or important or useful task might be a smart choice to avoid these Chronic Smartphone Injuries.
