“What might I be doing wrong for tech neck?” 🪑💻 ❌Sitting with a perfectly straight upright posture may actually increase the strain on the posterior muscles in your neck ✅ Find a seat where you can recline slightly while working on the computer to offload the strain on those extensor neck muscles ✋🏻Test it out for yourself - place your hand on the back of your neck when sitting perfectly upright versus when reclining slightly backwards The muscles will be less tense when reclining💪🏻

Thanks to Dr. Hartl for the tremendous honor of inviting me to speak during the masters session of NYC MISS where I got to share my step-by-step approach for circumferential minimally invasive surgery for scoliosis and spinal deformity 🔑 Leveraging the natural disc spaces to restore physiologic lordosis and foraminal height just makes too much sense… 🔑 Patient-specific devices help to dial in the exact correction a patient needs ❌No need for osteotomies ❌No need for musculoligamentous disruption ❌No need for 3 or quad-rod constructs ❌No need for tethers ✅Lower blood loss ✅Faster recovery ✅Fewer complications @WeillCornell @nyphospital @NYPAdvances @ColumbiaNeuro @columbiaspine
