Is Your Cell Phone Hurting Your Back?

Believe it or not, your cell phone can cause back pain!

If you're on the phone for long periods of time, bending your neck to cradle to phone or read all those text messages can add up to 60 pounds of additional stress to your back!

Experts recommend two things to combat this:

1.) Invest in ear buds and wear them during long conversations. That way, you don't have hold the phone near your ear.

2.) Keep your head up and your eyes down when reading texts.
