Neck Pain and Early Intervention
Neck Pain
Neck Pain has become a common health issue. Research shows that two out of every three persons have Neck Pain. Some people experience only Neck Pain or only Shoulder Pain, while others experience pain in both areas. Both ailments require early intervention to prevent chronic, wide-spread issues. Physical Therapy treatment provides safe and effective treatments and preventative techniques to keep you healthy and balanced.
Your neck is made up of vertebrae that extend from the skull and protects the cervical spinal cord. Neck pain is caused by almost similar conditions that cause back pain. Though in most cases the neck pain is due to poor posture, there can be situations like injuries from fall, whiplash that may lead to neck pain. In the case of extreme neck pain, there are chances that the pain might radiate into the arm.

Early intervention of neck pain is the best way to return to a pain-free life. It decreases the chance of injury and optimizes performance as it involves loosening or strengthening the injured region with individually prescribed exercises and techniques.

Some of the steps to prevent neck pain are the following :- Adjust your computer screen so as to look straight at your monitor
- Position your computer screen in such a way that the top of the screen comes slightly above or at the eye level.
- Get up and move around every 20-30 minutes.
- Sitting in an office chair for long hours can be fatiguing. If you have back, neck or shoulder pain, it’s best to stand up and walk around the office every half hour.
- Set up the keyboard tray at a comfortable height
- Ensure the keyboard is set up at a comfortable angle so as not to slump down your shoulders
