Study Connects Smartphones to
Bumps in Human Skulls According to an analysis in
Scientific Reports, the growths
were found in over 400 people. In terms of ages, those with growths ranged from 18 to 86 years old. Spurs are often formed
when a human performs
constant motions. One such example is when a
human head slouches forward
to look at their devices. Most of the time spurs are painless and treatment is not needed. The study, which was released in 2018, was conducted at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia. The researchers go on to theorize that poor posture
is another big reason for the skull bone spurs. Noted orthopedic surgeon
Dr. David Grier says that the
study's conclusions make sense. Dr. David Geier, via
