With the modern lifestyle we live in, neck pain has become one of the most common medical complaints. This is due to various reasons that cause stress on the neck muscles, such as:
- Sitting for long hours in front of a computer or mobile phone with an incorrect sitting posture
- Bending over a work or study desk with an incorrect sitting posture
- It can also result from inflammatory joint disease affecting the cervical vertebrae
- Or even compression of these vertebrae
- Degeneration and joint stress as we age
Symptoms:
- Pain in the cervical vertebrae
- Neck muscle spasms
- Difficulty moving the head
- Headaches
The primary treatment is conservative, including:
- Avoiding neck strain by sitting for long hours with the correct sitting posture, and taking breaks every half hour or hour to stimulate blood circulation.
- Warm compresses
- Appropriate physical therapy
- A neck collar can be used to stabilize the neck under a doctor's supervision.
