The neck or cervical spine is designed for strength, stability, and nerve communication with the brain via the spinal cord. Made up of a network of nerves, bones, joints, and muscles, it also has the important job of supporting and providing mobility for the head which weighs about the same as a medium bowling ball.
Neck pain is generally related to the overuse or strain of the neck’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments due to stress, poor posture or an injury such as whiplash or from carrying something heavy.
With our modern lifestyle comes the regular use of electronic devices and computer equipment which is commonly linked to many postural issues that can cause pain. Unfortunately, just as commonly, it can occur without any known trigger and develops differently in every patient – whether suddenly or over time.
