Neck Complaints: Common Problems

Neck complaints can manifest themselves in different ways. This can range from neck pain, osteoarthritis and poor posture to neck injuries and hernias. Such complaints can be caused by conditions that affect the muscles of the neck, such as an incorrect sleeping position. Medically speaking, these complaints are also called cervical complaints.

Symptoms of Neck Pain

The symptoms of neck complaints can be diverse and range from a dull ache that worsens with movement or turning the head, to numbness, tingling, sharp pain, difficulty swallowing, dizziness and light-headedness. Neck complaints are often accompanied by headaches and shoulder pain, caused by compression of nerves in the neck.

How do neck complaints arise?

The causes of neck complaints can be diverse. Neck complaints often arise from incorrect movements, such as a sports injury or an accident. However, it is not always clear whether factors such as drafts and cold play a role in the development of neck complaints.

Prevention of Neck complaints

Preventing neck complaints starts with adopting good postures. This certainly also applies to athletes, especially in contact sports. Performing neck strengthening exercises and wearing a neck brace can help reduce the risk of neck complaints.

Diagnosis of Neck Complaints

A thorough examination is essential when determining the causes of your neck complaints. The effects of different movements on your neck complaints are examined. The examination can take place both at rest and while moving, depending on your specific complaints and history.
