What is neck pain and what is the cause of neck pain

Certain bad habits in daily life and work are the cause of neck and shoulder pain, such as typing or working on a computer terminal, frequent long hours of reading, or playing mahjong for long periods of time. Neck muscles are affected by these habits for a long time, causing neck pain by protruding the head forward, disrupting normal posture. The following is a simple set of shoulder and neck exercises, the movements should be gentle, the breathing should be natural, and each movement can be repeated 3 to 5 times:

Take a slow, deep breath and turn your head to the left to look at your left shoulder, then to your right shoulder. Then retract the chin back and forth to relax the neck muscles. Raise your shoulders toward your ears, straighten your back, and sag your shoulders as low as possible. Move your shoulders in a circular motion, first lifting your shoulders and turning them forward, then turning them backwards.

Sit with your hands flat on your thighs, slowly lower your chin to your chest, then turn your head in a circle from left to right and from right to left, inhale deeply and exhale loudly to make your head and neck feel comfortable in a slow turn. Don't worry if you have a crackling sound, it's just the sound of muscles or ligaments grazing against bones as they stretch. Tilt your head to your left shoulder, place your left hand over the top of your head to the right of your head, and place your other hand on your right shoulder; Then try to pull your head to the left very gently; Tilt your head to your right shoulder and do the same.

Secondly, cervical spondylosis can also cause neck soreness, which can also be accompanied by a feeling of stiffness and discomfort.

To relieve neck pain, first of all, you need to stay away from the exertional environment, try to lower your head as little as possible, and avoid keeping the cervical spine in one action for a long time. Topical drugs can be used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and local physical therapy such as hot compress, massage, and massage can be carried out, which is more conducive to the recovery of patients.

Take a break. Cervical spine exercise can not only prevent cervical spondylosis, but also cervical spondylosis, and the method of exercise is simple, or sitting or standing can be carried out. Prepare for the activity: Feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides, fingertips straight down (when sitting, palms on your thighs, palms down), eyes level, whole body relaxed.

Here's how to do it:

1.Raise your head and slowly look up at the sky, stretch your head and neck as much as possible, and stretch your chest and abdomen upwards together (not just a head-up movement).

2.Slowly move the elongated neck forward and downward, like a rooster crowing.

3.Then slowly pull your neck back and upwards.

4.Return to the ready position.

Note: First, it takes about 1 minute to do (1 4) continuous exercise every time; Second, both the upward extension of the neck and the backward contraction of the neck should be held up and the abdomen should be tightened; Third, you can do it several times a day according to the different conditions of each person, and you can do it several times each time.

This neck extension exercise can improve the blood supply to the neck muscles and ligaments, speed up blood circulation, make the muscles and ligaments stronger, increase bone density, prevent osteoporosis, and thus reduce the occurrence of cervical spondylosis. This kind of exercise not only exercises the cervical spine, but also the chest, abdomen and internal organs. This workout doesn't require a sports field, can be done anytime, anywhere, and is an active method of rest.

The causes of neck pain are as follows:

1. There may be cervical spondylosis. This situation is very common in today's society. Cervical spondylosis is a very complex disease that involves multiple sites.

Its essence is a degenerative change in the cervical spine. However, it may also be accompanied by muscle spasms in the neck and shoulders and aseptic inflammation of the fascia. All of these pathological changes can cause pain around the neck.

Clause. Second, there may be a stiff neck, which is also called a loss of pillow. It is characterized by the absence of any symptoms before sleeping, but severe neck pain after waking up, accompanied by significant limitation of movement. This condition is due to poor sleeping posture during sleep or due to a cold in the neck, which leads to spasms of certain muscles in the neck.

Clause. 3. There may be local trauma. For example, if you have been violently hit in the neck, or if you have been overactive in your neck. This condition is seen in patients who have suffered neck injuries in martial arts, racing, or gymnastics, which can lead to muscle or bone damage.

All of the above conditions can cause symptoms of neck pain.

Neck pain, there are many causes, it may be caused by cervical spondylosis, if cervical spondylosis is severe, it can cause neck pain.

Neck pain, it can also be caused by the thyroid gland, if there are nodules in the thyroid gland, or if there is some inflammation, it can also cause neck pain.

Neck pain, it may also be caused by lymphatic inflammation, if lymphatic inflammation will also cause neck pain, take some drugs in time, relieve the auxiliary ** will reduce the pain, if necessary, seek medical attention in time.

There are many causes of neck pain, such as trauma, inflammation, tumors, and congenital diseases, all of which can cause different degrees of neck pain. The symptoms of neck pain can also vary depending on the cause:

The first is local pain, which is mostly caused by the lesion itself or secondary muscle spasm. Its location is localized, and there is often fixed tenderness.

The second is referred pain or inductive pain, and some internal organ diseases can also cause neck pain. However, the location of the pain is vague and sometimes it may be accompanied by muscle spasms.

The third is radiating pain, which is the characteristic manifestation of nerve root damage. It can be accompanied by numbness of the limbs, hyperesthesia and other abnormalities, or a decrease in the muscle strength of the limbs, and inflexibility of hand and foot movements. For example, if the head and upper limbs are not in proper posture, or if the affected limb is suddenly pulled and there is a sharp pain like lightning, cervical spondylosis should be considered.

Fourth, stiff neck. Medically known as acute torticollis, it is a painful spasm of the neck muscles, usually when you wake up or after sudden neck movement.

For neck pain, the first thing to do is to understand the causes of neck pain. There are several causes of neck pain:

First, it is a chronic inflammation of the muscles and fascia of the neck and back. With the change of life rhythm and lifestyle, the physiological curvature of the cervical spine is often lost, straightened, and even reversed, resulting in stiffness, soreness, pain, and discomfort of neck muscles, which is one of the most common reasons. Clause.

2. It is necessary to consider whether there are organic lesions in the neck and cervical spine, such as cervical spondylosis, cervical disc herniation, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine, tumors of the cervical spinal canal, etc., which will also cause nerve compression in the neck, resulting in numbness of the limbs, accompanied by symptoms such as soreness, pain and discomfort in the neck. If neck pain occurs, the diagnosis should be confirmed first, at which point an MRI of the cervical spine should be done. Cervical MRI can tell us very clearly whether the nerves of the cervical spine are compressed, whether there are space-occupying lesions in the cervical spinal canal, whether there are tumors in the cervical spinal canal, whether the cervical vertebrae are damaged, and then we can also understand whether the muscles and soft tissues of the cervical spine have some inflammatory manifestations.

Therefore, after a clear diagnosis, appropriate measures should be taken. If it is only some chronic strain of the neck muscles and soft tissues, it can be relieved by rest, physiotherapy, medication** and other methods. If there are indeed organic lesions such as cervical spondylosis and cervical spinal canal tumors, surgical intervention must be carried out in the case of ineffective conservative effects to achieve good clinical results.
