Neck Pain
Neck pain is one of the most common causes of chronic disability. It affects people of all genders and ages, worldwide. The causes vary from accidents due to a fall, car accidents, structural deformities of the neck vertebrae, persistent stress, and even incorrect posture. Excessive use of a computer and smartphones are a great contributor to your neck pain.


According to different studies, 10 to 15% of the population suffers from neck pain at some time during their life. The signs and symptoms usually don’t last for a long period of time. It might be accompanied by shoulder and arm pain, numbness, and a tingling sensation, loss of strength of the arms, etc.


Whatever the reason for your neck pain, it can affect your quality of life. The discomfort itself can vary from mild, moderate to severe and it can even radiate to the shoulders, arms or down your back. Depending on the severity of the pain you are experiencing, different treatment options are available.


Your neck needs to carry the weight of your head. This is about 11 to 15 pounds from the morning until you go to bed. Imagine how much pressure you put on the small bones of the neck. Add constant rotation the weight of your head and it’s no wonder so many people experience aches.


The normal human head weighs around 11 to 15 pounds. When your neck is at 15 degrees, your bones are supporting 27 pounds. When your neck is in a flexion position at 60 degrees, the total weight that your neck has to support gets around 60 pounds. Usually, your neck is at a 60-degree angle when you’re using your phone or computer.

• Cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve)
