Neck Pain Physiotherapy in Cambridge
Are you grappling with headaches, neck stiffness, or tingling/numbness in your hands? There's a singular solution for all these symptoms. Neck-related conditions are prevalent across all age groups, often stemming from poor posture. Here are common conditions associated with these symptoms:
Common Conditions
1. Cervical Disc Diseases: A degenerative joint disorder caused by cartilage breakdown between neck vertebrae. Known as cervical compression, it's primarily due to age-related wear and tear, repetitive strain, or trauma. Nerve compression in the cervical spine can result in arm, hand, or finger numbness.
2. Cervical Spine Stenosis: A severe condition compressing the spinal cord, reducing foramina space. Fatigue and loss of muscle strength in both hands are red flags.
3. Headaches: Tight neck muscles are a leading cause of headaches. Continuous muscle tension can trigger episodic or persistent headaches.
4. Stiff Neck: Poor work environments, like desk jobs, dentistry, or tailoring, can lead to poor neck posture, causing muscle tightness and weakness.
Causes:
- Poor body posture
- Unhealthy work environments (e.g., desk jobs, tailoring, dentistry)
- Age-related degenerative changes in the spine
Signs and Symptoms
- Stiff neck with difficulty in movement
- Pain with neck movement
- Tenderness over the neck region
- Fatigue and muscle weakness (loss of grip)
