More than 100,000 people experience neck and shoulder pain daily.

Did you know that neck and shoulder complaints can vary greatly from person to person? Usually, this results in mild symptoms. In some cases, the pain becomes unbearable because your neck and shoulders are in motion all day long.

Neck and shoulder complaints

You often experience neck and shoulder pain in only one specific spot. Normally, this disappears on its own within a few days or weeks. However, in some cases, it can take much longer because the pain is perceived as constant and can radiate to other parts of the body, such as the arms.

Symptoms of neck pain may include:

  • Stiff neck ; you often find it difficult to move without pain when you try to turn your head.
  • Sharp, penetrating pain ; is often experienced as a stabbing pain because it is localized to one spot.

Symptoms of shoulder pain may include:

  • General pain; The pain is usually located in one spot or area near the shoulders.
  • Radiating pain; The pain can radiate along a nerve in the shoulders and arms.

Chronic neck and shoulder pain

The neck or cervical spine is a generally coordinated network of nerves, bones, joints, and muscles. These are controlled by the brain and the spinal cord. Possible problems that can cause pain include irritation along the nerve pathways. Irritation of the spinal cord can result in pain in the legs and other areas.

Neck and shoulder pain: the 5 tips to prevent it

1) Choose an orthopedic pillow that ensures a comfortable posture for the neck and shoulders.

2) Stretching your neck and shoulders by tilting your head to one side while simultaneously relaxing your shoulder. Hold this for 20 seconds. Then do the same by tilting your head to the other side.

3) Keep your neck and shoulders warm. You can do this by using a cherry stone or a heating pad. An easier alternative is wearing a scarf to prevent the cold on your neck.

4) When you work in an office, it is important to have to have a custom-made chair. This solution will have positive effects on your neck, shoulders, and back. Click here for a number of special tips.
