Episode 73: Is Text Neck Causing Your Neck Pain?

In this episode, Ariana and Jules discuss the concept of 'text neck' and its potential link to neck pain. They explore a recent scoping review that examines whether the position of the neck while using smartphones is a causative factor for neck pain, utilizing Hill's criteria of causation. The conversation delves into the nuances of correlation versus causation, the limitations of current research, and the biopsychosocial model of health, ultimately concluding that text neck does not meet the criteria for causing neck pain.
