Main Causes Of Neck Pain?
Primary Causes of Neck Pain:
- Poor Posture and Ergonomics: Incorrect posture and improper workstation setup, particularly in office environments, can strain the neck over time. Maintaining proper spinal alignment is crucial for avoiding discomfort.
- Spinal Alignment and Weight Distribution: The neck supports the weight of the head, which is approximately 5 kgs. Normal alignment involves the head balanced atop the seven neck vertebrae. Muscles work to sustain this balance, but prolonged poor posture can lead to strain and discomfort.
- Prolonged Poor Posture: Extended periods of slouching or hunching the head forward, often due to tasks like looking down at devices, can cause neck strain and pressure to accumulate. This may lead to pain and sensitivity even with minor postural changes.
- Modern Lifestyle Stresses: The demands of contemporary living can exacerbate neck tension and pain. Stress, sedentary habits, and extended screen time contribute to muscle strain in the neck region.
- Other Factors: Neck pain can also stem from whiplash due to sudden movements or accidents, arthritis affecting the cervical spine, and injuries incurred during sports activities.
Understanding these causes can help individuals take preventive measures to alleviate and manage neck pain effectively.
FAQs about Neck Pain
Our comprehensive diagnostic process includes:
Medical history: We will talk to you about your symptoms, their severity, and what treatments you have already tried.
Physical examination: You are carefully examined for movement limitations, balance problems, and pain.
