What is neck pain?

As more and more people spend their days hunched over computers or looking down at smartphones, neck pain is becoming an increasingly common complaint. Fortunately, this ubiquitous symptom can typically be corrected with simple lifestyle and postural changes, and it rarely indicates that something is seriously amiss.

In some cases, however, neck pain can be the first sign of a more serious problem. Pain that’s severe spreads down into the rest of the body or is accompanied by numbness or tingling tends to be a cause for alarm — it’s recommended that patients see a doctor if they experience this.

More commonly, though, neck pain occurs because the head is too heavy to be held at unnatural angles for extended periods. Prevention tends to be the best treatment option for chronic neck pain; patients with chronic neck pain may need physical therapy to create healthy habits that will eliminate it once and for all.

Neck pain symptoms

The single most common symptom of neck pain is chronic discomfort in the neck, which tends to get worse after holding the head in one position for an extended period — such as when working at a computer. Some patients may experience muscle tightness in the neck or even occasional spasming.

In addition, it’s not entirely uncommon to experience a decreased range of neck motion or an inability to move the head in certain directions. Some patients may also develop headaches due to neck pain, though this is a sign of a more serious condition.

The most common symptoms of neck pain include:

  • Pain that increases when straining the neck
  • Muscle tightness
  • Spasms
  • Decreased range of neck motion

What causes neck pain?

Effectively addressing neck pain tends to hinge on determining its underlying cause. While it’s often the result of posture — usually due to working at a desk for long periods — it can also be caused by an injury or underlying condition. The causes of neck pain can be classified into three groups: muscle strain, traumatic event, or underlying condition.

Muscle strain can occur due to working at a desk, sleeping in an odd position, or jerking the neck during exercise. Traumatic events can include falls, car accidents, or heart attacks. Underlying conditions that cause neck pain include meningitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, and spinal stenosis.

Physical therapy for neck pain in Delray Beach, Florida

Home remedies can sometimes be sufficient to address chronic neck pain; however, when attempts to correct the problem without professional help don’t succeed, it’s wise to seek the assistance of a licensed physical therapist.

In most cases, physical therapy for neck pain will involve a two-fold approach: habit modifications and stretching. A physical therapist can help the patient improve their posture and change their work and living environment to offer the neck greater support. In addition, they can recommend safe and effective stretches to improve flexibility and mobility.
