What causes Neck Pain, Contracture?
Neck pain or a contracture can be caused by automobile accidents, really hard falls, bad neck position due to the heavy use of cellphones and bad sitting posture over an extended period of time.
Sometimes neck pain can also be caused by sleeping facing downwards instead of a regular sleeping position to the side or upwards.
The symptoms of neckpain or contractures include reduced mobilization of the neck to any or both sides. Pain in the head or the shoulders are also related problems. Sometimes you can feel tickling or loss of strength.
Sometimes there's even numbness on the arm and hand.
Why is it important to treat it?
Neck pain can lead to a perpetual and really uncomfortable pain on the neck if it's not treated. The pain can become a chronic one, and as it progresses you will realize it's harder to maintain the position of the head in shorter periods of time.
Stop the pain! Don't let the pain progress, seek the opinion of an expert or get treatment
