Neck Pain

Neck pain and injuries are relatively common in today’s people. Several people suffer from neck pain or discomfort regularly. All the bones, ligaments, and muscles in the head and neck area support the head and allow it to move in different directions.  Neck pain can sometimes be induced by an accident, sporting activities, or damage to the ligaments, muscles in the neck, and spinal region. Neck discomfort or stiffness might be caused by any irregularities, inflammation, or injury in such regions. For the most part, it is not a major problem that can be resolved in a matter of days. Neck pain, on the other hand, can sometimes indicate a serious medical condition that necessitates medical attention.

Following are some of the most common reasons that lead to neck pain

• Strain and tension in the muscle: This can be due to our poor behaviors of posture such as bad posture/ergonomics during work, sleep, and straining the neck while physical activity.
• Injuries: Injuries such as falls or car accidents disturb the ligaments and muscles of the neck leading to pain.
• Other causes include diseases such as heart attacks, arthritis degradation of cervical discs, and congenital abnormalities. 

As the supporting structures of the head and neck control the movement, any disruption to it may lead to further discomfort in the surrounding tissues leading to pain if left untreated. This pain may also radiate to nearby structures such as the shoulders, back, and arms.
