As more people use “3c” (computers, communication, and consumer) electronic products daily, the likelihood of developing shoulder, neck, and back pain, and even conditions that usually come with more advanced aging, such as hand numbness and buffalo or Dowager’s hump increases broadly across the population.
Dr. Chan Chiu-lung, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner from Taiwan We Care Clinic, offers three methods to alleviate shoulder, neck, and back pain while bringing the posture back into balance.
Who Suffers from Shoulder and Neck Pain?
Shoulder, neck, and low back pain are commonly caused by improper posture and the over or active use of certain muscles. Office workers, who are often seated for hours while staring at a computer, book lovers who spend hours hunched over books, and factory workers who often maintain the same posture or engage in repetitive motions throughout the day, are the most likely to suffer chronic pain.
