Home remedies for tech neck that our La Cañada Flintridge chiropractors actually recommend — plus the ones to skip.
Before you spend money on the latest gadget or supplement, here's what our doctors actually recommend to patients with tech neck — and what we tell them to skip.
'Tech neck' is the sustained flexion pattern from phones and laptops — it stresses the cervical spine, shortens the chest, and weakens the deep neck flexors.

What Actually Helps at Home
Alternate ice and heat. Ice for sharp, recent pain. Heat for stiff, chronic patterns. Twenty minutes on, at least an hour off.
Gentle, frequent movement. Ten-minute walks every couple of hours beat one long walk once a day.
Sleep setup. Side or back sleeping with pillow support. Never stomach.
Hydration. Discs and connective tissue are water-based. Chronically dehydrated tissue heals slower.
Magnesium at night (talk to your primary care doctor first). Helps a subset of patients with muscle-driven pain.
Cutting the aggravating activity temporarily. Even 4
