Back and Neck Pain and Stiffness
Back and neck pain can have a debilitating effect on your life. The pain can range from a dull ache to an acute pain where you stand unable to move. Decreased movement, numbness, tingling, shooting discomfort, dizziness, swelling, and difficulty swallowing are all associated with back and neck discomfort. Additionally, headaches and arm, facial, or shoulder pain can all stem from these issues.
The muscles of the neck connect from the upper back, shoulders, chest and into the face. These muscles help with movement in all directions of the head and posture support. If any of these muscles becomes strained it may cause pain. According to the Nationwide Institute of Health Sciences neck pain is the 3rd most common type of pain experienced in the us today. More than half of the populace will experience some type of neck pain in their own lifetime. Neck pain has a number of causes and can appear without warning. Our neck is an intricate part of the body because it holds up the head as well as protects the spinal column at the most important juncture: where it connects to our brain. Because of its positioning, the pain that we experience in our neck could be caused from not only the neck itself but from the surrounding anatomy as well.
