NBC News hosted Dr. Weiniger to discuss the surprising health effects of technology on posture. With more people spending hours looking down at phones and screens, the number of patients reporting neck pain, upper back tension, and headaches has risen sharply — and the underlying cause is often postural, not structural.
Dr. Weiniger explained how the head-forward position created by device use puts increasing mechanical load on the cervical spine, and how awareness and simple corrective exercises can reverse the pattern before it becomes chronic. The segment reached a national audience with a message that resonated: the device in your hand may be reshaping your spine.
