Reading this on a smartphone? You may be putting yourself at an increased risk for falling later in life!
ABC News brought Dr. Weiniger on to discuss an overlooked connection: how smartphone use affects posture, and how poor posture increases fall risk later in life. The segment bridged the gap between a habit most people don’t think about — looking down at a device — and a consequence most people don’t see coming.
Dr. Weiniger demonstrated how technology-driven posture patterns compromise balance and spinal alignment over time, and offered practical steps viewers could take immediately. The segment reached a national audience at the intersection of two things everyone cares about: their phone and their health.
