Pain in your neck, shoulders, hands & the back of your head can cause a great deal of discomfort in performing your daily activities.
Pain in the neck can be due to various reasons ranging from simple muscle stiffness to severe wear and tear in the bones in your neck
What’s in your Neck
Your Neck or the Cervical region, as Doctors call it, has a lot of complex structures like :
- Bones called vertebrae which give structural support to our body
- Discs between the bones that give us the ability to bend your head forward and backwards
- Ligaments or support structures that keep these bones in position
- Muscles to help with movement and flexibility
- Nerves & Spinal cord which transmits signals from the brain to the rest of your body
- Shoulder joint which connects your arms to the rest of your body
What causes neck pain
Neck & Shoulder pain can be caused due to a variety of reasons
- A simple stiffness in the muscles in your Neck
- Wear and tear in the bones in the Neck
- Wear and tear of the disc between the bones
- Injury to any of the aforementioned structures
- Inflammation in the joints in the shoulder joint or Ligaments
The most common cause of Neck pain in young adults is stiffness in the muscles which is usually due to lack of activity and improper posture.
As you age, wear and tear in the discs is the most common cause for pain in the neck.
If you are a diabetic, there is a condition which can cause inflammation in the shoulder joint that can cause severe neck and shoulder pain.
When to take action
When you have neck pain on and off for more than 3 days even after using painkillers (or) When you have neck pain where the pain is also present in your shoulders, arms, hands and the back of your head, it is TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE ACTION.
Why do we say this?
A simple muscle stiffness in your neck should resolve on its own within 3 days. If it doesn’t, it means there is some deep-rooted issue that is causing this muscle stiffness. When the pain extends to your arms, shoulders and the back of your head, it means there is some irritation to the nerves that come out from your neck. This issue needs to be catered to as early as possible to prevent it from getting more serious
