Neck Pain
Posted in Musculoskeletal Pain Conditions Physiotherapy
Neck pain is a common complaint. Neck muscles can be strained from poor posture — whether it’s leaning over your computer or hunching over your workbench. Osteoarthritis also is a common cause of neck pain.
Most neck pain self-resolves in few weeks. Rarely, it can be a symptom of a more serious problem. Seek immediate help, if your pain is accompanied by numbness or loss of strength in your arms or hands or if you have shooting pain into your shoulder or down your arm.
The most common causes are:
- the neck becoming locked in an awkward position while sleeping
- bad posture – for example, when sitting at a desk for a long time
- a pinched nerve or compressed nerve due to result of repetitive motions
- an injury – for example, whiplash from a traffic accident or fall
