The College of Dentistry at Basra University held a lecture entitled “Text neck, its spread, symptoms, causes, methods of treatment and prevention.”
The lecture aims to raise awareness and take into account the healthy position of the head, neck and spine to avoid neck injury that occurs through improper position of the neck muscles, whether from bending in front of the computer, bending over the work table, or using phones without taking a break.
The lecture, which was lectured by Professor Sondos Abdel-Wadud, included introducing the audience to the symptoms, treatment methods and the importance of preventing them by following several steps and using different equipment that contribute to preventing their occurrence.
The lecture recommended the most important ways to help prevent neck pain: “Keep your head centered on the spine, take frequent rest periods, and maintain your activity. If you do not move much, be sure to increase your activity level.”
