Abstract

Text neck syndrome, increasingly prevalent among the young due to prolonged use of handheld devices like Mobile Phones and Tablets, involves forward head flexion and is marked by symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Untreated, it can lead to spinal curvature issues, early arthritis, disc compression, and nerve and muscle injuries. Ayurvedic texts liken it to Manyastambha (stiffness of neck), characterized by similar neck symptoms. Prevention is emphasized, with Ayurvedic management including avoiding causative factors, Abhyanga, RukshaSwedana, Nasya, GreevaBasti, internal medicines, and specific Yoga practices. These holistic approaches aim to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications, offering an alternative to conventional treatments.the objective of this study is to collect relevant information regarding the aetiology, pathophysiology, and treatment modalities of 'text neck syndrome.' And to co-relate and quote information regarding Manyastambha from AyurvedicSamhitas. Thorough analysis of Samhita commentaries and published articles. This research provides a thorough literature review of ‘text neck syndrome’ along with its correlation with ‘Manyastambha’; its diagnostic and therapeutic measures.
