Neck Pain

Neck pain is very common and most of us will have it at some point in our lives. Usually, neck pain is the result of holding your neck in the same position for too long. However, other things can also cause or contribute to neck pain, such as

  • Worry or stress
  • Sleeping awkwardly
  • An accident, which can cause whiplash
  • A sprain or a strain
  • A flare-up of cervical spondylosis; which can happen as the discs and joints in the spine.

The neck pain may be associated with following symptoms

  • Dull, burning and sharp pain over a localized area or a large area.
  • Stiffness, muscle spasm, difficulty in moving head and turning over in the bed.
  • Sharp and shooting pain radiating down in the arm.
  • Numbness and tingling sensation in the arms.
  • Headache and vertigo.
  • Consistent pain throughout the day, increased after any stressful activity.
  • Feeling of weakness in the arms.
