Causes of neck pain

Neck pain from office work

Anyone who has to work in the office for a long time every day and has so little movement in his daily office routine almost inevitably comes to the point where tension makes life difficult for him in the long run.

Causes for one-sided neck pain

Neck pain often occurs only on the left or right. There are many reasons for this. However, a certain side can rarely be assigned to a specific disease or cause.

Neck pain in older people

Senior citizens in particular often have to struggle with neck problems. Age-related wear and tear and diseases of the cervical spine affect the neck and cause pain.

„Smartphone Neck“

Or also called „mobile phone neck“, is a relatively new clinical picture. The constant, lowered view of the display causes muscle hardening in the neck area in the long run. In the worst case, herniated discs can also occur.

Slipped disc

A herniated disc does not only cause pain in the back. The neck is also often affected.

 

Jammed vertebra

Jammed vertebrae often also cause neck pain. Help should be sought from orthopaedists, osteopaths or physiotherapists.

The wrong bra

At the latest from bra size C upwards, the correct fit should be the most important criterion when buying a new bra. A bra should hold your breasts and not just decorate them with lace.

Error postures when making phone calls

How often do you see people holding the handset between the ear and the raised shoulder. Still. Thanks to technical aids such as headphones, Bluetooth and loudspeakers, there is hardly any reason for this.

Diseased diaphragm

 There is a direct neuronal connection from the cervical spine to the diaphragm. Therefore, diseases of the diaphragm can also lead to symptoms in the neck region.

hollow back and hunchback

Especially these two incorrect postures have a strong influence on the posture of the head and shoulders. This almost always leads to chronic tension in the neck area if adequate orthopaedic care is lacking.

Pelvic obliquity

Pelvic obliquity is relatively common and does not always have to cause discomfort. In chronic neck pain, a possible connection with an existing pelvic obliquity is often overlooked.

Wrong shoes

The wrong footwear significantly influences the statics of the spine. Up to the neck. Sometimes it is not so obvious that shoes can be the cause of neck tension.

Jaw problems

The jaw muscles are connected to the neck muscles. Many tensions and misalignments of the jaw are often caused by psychological, stress-related factors. Tension pains can affect the neck area.

Spine disease

Not only diseases and injuries of the cervical spine can cause considerable neck pain. Any irregularity of the spine further down can also be noticeable up to the neck area.

Too much television

Watching too much television is equally harmful to body and mind. If you choose the wrong distance, the wrong height and the wrong piece of furniture, you strain your whole constitution and not only risk neck pain.

Causes of shoulder pain

Shoulder pain often extends to the neck and vice versa. The shoulder muscles are an important support corset for the sensitive neck area.

unhealthy sleep

Who wakes up in the morning with neck pain and as if whacked, should take a close look at his surroundings. Especially the pillow, but also mattress and slatted frame are significantly involved in a healthy sleep.

Overweight
