Understanding Neck Pain
The neck, or cervical spine, is a delicate yet crucial part of your body, supporting the weight of your head and allowing for a wide range of motion. Its complexity makes it vulnerable to various issues that can lead to pain and discomfort.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
- Poor Posture: Prolonged periods of poor posture, especially when using electronic devices, can strain the neck muscles and lead to pain.
- Muscle Strains: Overexertion or sudden movements can cause muscle strains in the neck.
- Herniated Discs: When the soft inner material of a disc pushes through the tough outer layer, it can irritate nearby nerves and cause pain.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the cervical spine, leading to pain and stiffness.
- Pinched Nerves: Nerve compression in the neck can result in pain that radiates to the arms.
