Photos showing young people sitting on a row of benches in a hospital in Shanghai, with their necks hung in traction devices, have become an online hit.

上海一家医院里，一排长椅上坐着年轻人的照片在网上走红，他们的脖子上挂着牵引装置。

The photos, in which their necks are illuminated by red light, led to the tag "Young people rush to hospitals to hang their necks" becoming one of the most searched topics on the Sina Weibo micro blog platform and other Chinese social media apps.

照片中，他们的脖子被红光照亮，导致“年轻人冲向医院挂脖子”的标签成为新浪微博等中国社交媒体平台上热门的搜索话题之一。

Doctors from Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital said that the people in the pictures were patients suffering from pain in their cervical and lumbar vertebrae who were receiving traction treatment at the hospital's rehabilitation medicine department.

上海市第六人民医院的医生表示，照片中的人是患有颈椎和腰椎疼痛的患者，他们正在医院康复医学科接受牵引治疗。

Traction treatment is not new, they said, but the ubiquitous use of digital products, and even the overuse of them, by people of all ages has made acute attacks of cervical spondylosis — wear and tear of the spinal disks — more frequent.

他们说，牵引治疗并不是什么新鲜事，但各年龄段人群普遍使用甚至过度使用数字产品，使得颈椎病的急性发作——即脊椎间盘的磨损——更加频繁。

"Also, patients are becoming younger," said Shen Xiaoyan, a doctor from the department. "Nowadays, the largest patient community resorting to traction treatment is those between age 30 and 50, whereas it was those age 50 or above a decade ago, when electronic products were not so popular.

该部门医生沈小燕说:“此外，患者也越来越年轻。”“现在，接受牵引治疗的患者群体中，年龄最大的是30岁至50岁的人，而十年前电子产品还不那么流行的时候，接受牵引治疗的患者群体主要是50岁或50岁以上的人。”

Doctors suggested people use a phone holder to put smartphones on a desk, and recommended against using a phone while lying down.

医生建议人们使用手机支架将手机放在桌子上，并建议不要躺着玩手机。
