When to Worry About Neck Pain?

Bad posture when sitting or anxiety can manifest itself through neck pain.

When to Worry About Neck Pain?

Our neck plays an extraordinary role in our body, it is the support that holds our skull and brain, and it also allows us to turn our head normally. It is composed of seven bones of the cervical spine, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and joints. 

Neck pain is a fairly common discomfort that can vary in cause from routine tension pain (that cramping feeling in the neck known as muscle spasms) to something more serious like a sprained neck (which occurs in the ligaments). Stress is commonly passed on to our neck and shoulder area causing tension in the muscles and possible spasms that bring with them uncomfortable physical pain. 

Learn how to prevent Neck Pain
Learning to prevent annoying neck pain will bring positive changes to your health.

You can help avoid neck pain by following these simple changes in your daily routine:

  • Keep your head centered on your spine
  • Maintain good posture
  • Don't carry heavy bags with straps on your shoulder
  • Take frequent breaks if you work long hours on the computer or spend a lot of time on the cell phone
  • Do not hold your phone between your ear and shoulder when talking on the phone
  • Your monitor should be adjusted to your eye level
  • At bedtime, your neck and head should be aligned with your body 

Self-medication is never recommended because, without an exact diagnosis of the cause of the pain, it can be counterproductive. We recommend that you perform stretching and neck exercises that help to relieve accumulated tension, performing them gently and carefully several times a day.

If your neck pain persists or increases, you may need a consultation with a specialist doctor to find out the cause of your neck pain and what treatment is the most appropriate. Treatment for neck problems can range from pain relievers, physical therapy, neck braces, and in more severe and less frequent cases, surgery
