Cervical Pain
Understanding Cervical Pain
Cervical pain, commonly known as neck pain, affects millions of people worldwide. It originates in the cervical spine, which consists of seven vertebrae that support your head and enable movement. Cervical pain can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that affects daily activities.
The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae (C1 to C7), starting from the base of the skull and extending down to the upper back. These vertebrae are uniquely designed to provide support, flexibility, and protection to the spinal cord while allowing free movement of the head.
Functions of the Cervical Spine
- Supports the Head – The cervical spine bears the weight of the head, which typically weighs around 4.5 to 5.5 kg (10-12 lbs).
- Facilitates Head Movements – Enables flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral bending of the neck.
- Protects the Spinal Cord – The vertebral column safeguards the spinal cord, preventing injuries.
- Allows Nerve Communication – Transmits sensory and motor signals between the brain and the rest of the body.
Causes of Cervical Pain
Cervical pain can occur due to various reasons, including:
- Poor Posture – Sitting for long hours with incorrect posture strains the neck muscles.
- Muscle Strain – Overuse of neck muscles, often due to prolonged screen time or excessive driving.
- Cervical Spondylosis – Age-related wear and tear of cervical spine discs.
- Herniated Disc – A slipped or bulging disc putting pressure on nearby nerves.
- Injuries – Whiplash or sudden impact injuries affecting the neck region.
- Arthritis – Degenerative conditions that affect joint mobility.
- Stress and Tension – Emotional stress can lead to tightness in the neck muscles.
Symptoms of Cervical Pain
Cervical pain may present itself in various ways, including:
- Stiffness and reduced neck movement
