Causes of neck pain
Neck pain is most commonly caused by soft tissue and joint injuries which can irritate and impinge on nerves
Other common causes of neck pain that a registered physiotherapist in Vancouver can treat are:
Neck Muscle strain and ligamentous sprain
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries that result in neck pain and is typically sustained by an automobile accident or high-impact sports collision. Whiplash is a “strain” injury, causing the head to whip rapidly back and forth, thus affecting the soft tissues in the back of the neck.
Even something as simple as sitting at your desk all day with your neck craned toward the computer screen can cause your neck muscles to become strained by overuse.
Posture
There are many more reasons why neck pain may occur and many times it is related to poor posture, mal-alignment and prolonged positions such as looking down at a mobile phone or lap top or turning the head to look at the TV or a second monitor at the workstation. Soft tissue neck restrictions and mal-alignment can lead to waking up with acute wry neck.
Illness
Certain diseases and ailments can result in neck pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis, cervical spondylosis, spinal stenosis, and meningitis.
Degenerative joint conditions
Conditions such as osteoarthritis signal the wearing out of the cartilage between the vertebrae in the neck. This also results in neck pain. Like any other joint in your body, the neck joints can deteriorate with age, causing pain.
Compressed nerves
If you have a herniated disc in your neck, the nerves that branch out from your spinal cord may be pinched (the place where the nerves exit the spine). In some cases, nerve pain can radiate from the neck to the hands and fingers, a condition known as “radiculopathy.”
The best way to be 100% sure of why you are experiencing neck pain is to request an appointment with our physiotherapist in Vancouver.
Symptoms of neck pain
Neck pain is so common that one-third of the population may experience it at some point during the year. If left untreated, it can keep recurring with bouts of pain becoming more frequent, and in severe situations, surgery may be required. However, there is good news: physiotherapy can help the great majority of people get relief from neck pain in Vancouver!
Neck pain can radiate from the base of the skull to the tops of the shoulder blades, settling at the back of the neck.
The pain might be mild or severe, ranging from dull aching to acute, stabbing, and shooting in quality.
Additionally, neck pain can sometimes include these symptoms:
- Stiffness and muscle tightness in the upper body
- Inability to look up, turn or tilt your head
- Increasing pain when remaining in the same position for too long
- Difficulty sleeping and getting comfortable at night
- Weakness in your arms or shoulders
- Headaches
- Numbness or tingling in the upper extremities
If you are experiencing these symptoms, our physiotherapy center has the solution to your problem! Our therapists are skilled when it comes to finding and treating the source of your neck pain!
