Do you suffer from Neck Pain?
Neck pain is a very common condition that afflicts many people around the world. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including injuries from accidents or poor posture, birth diseases, and normal wear and tear associated with aging.
It can manifest itself in different ways, including sharp, dull or stabbing pain. It is usually constant or intermittent and intensifies with specific movements of the head, neck and arms.
There are many potential causes of neck pain, including injuries such as a muscle strain or sprain, torticollis, or medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, herniated disc, or fibromyalgia. Neck pain can also be caused by prolonged poor posture such as sitting in front of a computer or television for long periods of time, using a cell phone or by chronic emotional stress, which produces contractures and muscle tension that can affect the correct functioning and movement of the vertebrae and consequently more severe problems such as kyphosis.
