I have Neck/Shoulder Pain
- Unable to maintain proper seating posture.
- Experiencing prolonged strain and muscle tightness at neck and shoulder areas.
What's the Cause?
Sprains and strains from sports, overexertion or poor posture are the leading cause for most neck and shoulder pain. Injuries to soft tissues such as your muscles, tendons and ligaments typically result in muscular tensions, clumping and inflammation.
Although injuries from sprains and strains are the culprit for most neck/shoulder pain, it can also be due to worn joints, bone spurs and illness.
Possible Symptoms
More than often, when your neck and shoulder are in pain, you will experience soreness and the inability to move properly
Stiff Neck
Soreness and difficulty moving the neck, especially when trying to turn the head from side to side.
Numbness
Pinched nerves may cause a loss of sensation or tingling sensation around your neck or shoulder area.
Sharp Pain
Intense and “shock-like” pain in affected areas when performing normal a range of motion.
Headaches
Caused by pinched nerve or inflammation of soft tissues around your neck and head.
Did you know?
Our joints tend to wear down with age. The degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone (Osteoarthritis) can cause pain and stiffness. Injury to soft tissues is a common cause of shoulder pain for young people, especially athletes.
