Causes Of Neck Pain
Because the neck supports the head’s weight, it can be at risk of injuries and conditions that cause pain and restrict motion. Neck pain causes include:
Muscle strains:
Overuse, such as too many hours hunched over a computer or a smartphone, often triggers muscle strains. Even minor things, such as reading in bed, can strain neck muscles.
Worn joints:
As with other joints, neck joints wear with age. In response to this wear and tear, the body often forms bone spurs that can affect joint motion and cause pain.
Nerve compression:
Herniated disks or bone spurs in the neck vertebrae can press on the nerves from the spinal cord.
Injuries:
Rear-end auto collisions often result in whiplash injury. It occurs when the head jerks backward and then forward, straining the neck’s soft tissues.
Diseases:
Certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis, or cancer, can cause neck pain.
Therapy For Neck Pain
Your treatment procedure might include the following:
- Exercises or stretches guided by your therapist
- Massage, heat, or cold therapy, warm water therapy, or ultrasound to ease muscle pain or spasms
- Rehab to help you learn to use an artificial limb
- Practice with gadgets that help you move or stay balanced, like a cane or walker
