Horn-Like Bones Growing on Skulls of Young Adults, Says Study

Researchers suggest that to stop these horn-like spurs from developing, giving up technology is not an option.

A new research by the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, suggests that young people are developing horn-like spikes at the back of their skulls, according to a report published in Clinical Biomechanics.

The research also suggests that these are caused by tilting the head forward for long hours to look at mobile phones and other handheld devices.

The researchers say that these horn-like spur are developed due to the shift of weight from the spine to the muscles on the back of the neck which results in the growth of adjoining tendons and ligaments.
