Chronic back and neck pain is a very common concern for individuals these days. If not diagnosed punctually, they can hinder your tracks and make it challenging to go about for any physical activity. There can be varying reasons behind this discomfort but it all boils down to how one holds them. Standing, moving and essentially sitting in the wrong posture can worsen the condition. Unchecked neck and upper back pain will limit your capabilities and movements. If you miss the back pain treatment, the condition will deteriorate which can limit your activities further. This happens because the tissues and muscles around the immediate pain point have tensed up to shield that one spot. General causes of upper back and neck pain • Practicing poor posture • Improperly lifting something heavy • Sports injury • Being overweight Knowing the basics of back pain Our vertebral column, which is commonly referred to as backbone consists of 33 vertebrae. The lumbar spine consists of five vertebrae, which is in the lower back portion. Most common complications occur there and are called lumbar disk disease: • Bulging disk As one ages, the intervertebral disk may lose fluid. This results the spongy disk (which works as a shock absorber) to become compressed. This eventually results in the breakdown of the tough outer ring and exposes the nucleus which bulges out. This is called a bulging disk. • Ruptured or herniated disk With the continuous break down of the disc, there is constant stress on the spine which can rupture the nucleus out from the annulus. This causes herniated disk. The condition worsens when the fragments of disc material press on the nerve roots located behind the disk space. The most common symptoms are chronic pain, weakness, numbness, and constant sensation. When do you need treatment for neck pain? Often, people suffering from back pain can also get affected with neck pain. The key cause of this is strain or spasm of the neck muscles. Sometimes, inflammation of the neck joints can also cause the pain. Tips to avoid neck pain • Avoid holding head in a forward posture for a long time while working, reading or watching TV • Avoid sleeping on a pillow that is too flat or high and provides discomfort to your head • Don’t spend long hours in thinker's pose - resting your forehead on your upright fist or arm • Stress – too much tension may make the muscles feel tight and painful (trapezius muscle) • Conduct regular exercise for your upper body and arms Are you looking for exclusive approach that can help you cure spinal degeneration?
