Pain in the neck and shoulder
Neck and shoulder pain can be classified in several different ways, with some suffering from neck and shoulder pain together while others suffer pain in just one area
What causes neck pain
Bone and joint deformities, bruises, body defects, degenerative diseases or tumors cause pain in the neck. However, soft tissue pain in muscles, tendons and ligaments is the most common cause and usually leads to severe and chronic muscle tension. The neck moves heavily in the human body and is less stable than other areas, which means it is more susceptible to injury
What causes shoulder pain
The shoulder is a spherical joint (ball and cavity) with great movement. This moving joint tends to be more susceptible to injury. Shoulder pain may result from one or more of the following causes
Stress due to stress
Tendonitis as a result of excessive use.
Instability of the shoulder joint.
Dislocation in the shoulder.
Fractures of the collarbone or humerus.
Shoulder "frozen" (or inflammation of adhesive purse.
Nerve (also known as neuropathy.
How is neck and shoulder pain diagnosed
X-rays are useful in diagnosing neck and shoulder pain, where simple X-rays reveal narrowing of the distance between discs, rheumatism, bone damage, slippage, narrowing of the distance between vertebrae, fractures and instability in bending and extension images
MRI is useful for detecting nerve-related structures in detail
Sometimes using CT scans as an alternative to ANMR
Diagnostic electro-ekg studies, eCG procedures and rapid neural conduction are useful in diagnosing neck, shoulder and arm pain, numbness and numbness
Treatment of neck pain
Treatment of neck and shoulder pain depends on the full cause of patients, for example if there are problems including narrowing of the spinal canal, slippage, bacterial infection or tumors, surgical intervention may be necessary. In cases of benign pain, caused by stress and muscle inflammation, the treatment plan begins with conservative treatments consisting of
Take enough rest, especially when people whose work requires using a computer or writing for long periods
Maintain the correct position when sitting to study, when using the computer so that it is taught on a table, using a health chair and not studying on the floor, at a distance or on the bed, as many students do
Try to take a break every quarter or every half hour with simple exercises for your neck muscles
Physiotherapy sessions for rehabilitation and education on the right positions to maintain the integrity of the neck, as well as work on stretching exercises of the neck muscles and strengthening exercises of these muscles, leading in the long term to rehabilitation and strengthening and making them able to withstand daily pressures
Use anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medications and muscle relaxants for short periods under the supervision of a doctor
Use a medical pillow when sleeping and sitting, in order to maintain the correct strength of the cervical and back vertebrae in general
Use ointments and hot or cold compresses all according to their condition if necessary
You should know things that affect your health and increase their health, avoiding, such as stress, cold and stress
If the pain persists in a particular area, local injections containing an anti-inflammatory substance prednisolone can be given to eliminate inflammation in the muscles
For the vast majority of patients, the plan mentioned earlier succeeds in ridding them of chronic or severe pain in the neck, upper back and shoulders. It should be noted that the new habits, assistive devices and exercises learned during treatment must be continuous and permanent and be part of your life and daily schedule to ensure that these pains do not return
In cases where tightness of the herniated disc or spinal canal does not respond to the previous treatment plan, surgical intervention may be necessary
