These days, many people spend most of their day glued to their phones or laptops. Even after spending 8 to 10 hours continuously sitting in the office, they fail to find relief upon returning home. Many continue to strain their necks for hours in incorrect postures, leading to significant discomfort. It's estimated that nearly 5-6 out of 10 individuals suffer from stiffness, pain, or cervical discomfort, often exacerbated by excessive mobile usage.
If not addressed promptly, this issue could pose serious risks. However, there are telltale signs in the body before this pain sets in, which if understood, could potentially prevent it. Let's delve into the causes, symptoms, and treatment of cervical pain...
Causes of Cervical Pain
Cervical pain primarily stems from improper sleeping and sitting positions. Lifting heavy weights on the head, prolonged periods in a single position, and aging can exacerbate cervical discomfort. Additionally, using high or oversized pillows, keeping the neck bent for extended periods, and wearing heavy helmets can also lead to cervical pain.
Early Signs of Cervical Pain
Locations Affected by Cervical Pain
Cervical pain can start from the upper part of the neck and extend down to below the waist. It often involves difficulties with stiffness. If you experience discomfort while moving your neck while working on a laptop, it could be an early sign of cervical pain.
