ARTHRITIS MAY BE TO BLAME FOR HEAD & NECK PAIN
In many situations, pain that develops in the neck can be associated with one of two major problems. The first is upper-back pain that begins to radiate into the neck. The second is arthritis. Physical therapy can be used to address both types of neck pain. Cervical arthritis causes frequent aches in the neck and shoulders. This pain is generally worse when there are sudden changes in weather or at the end of the day, and while over-the-counter medication may make the pain less severe, it won’t eliminate the pain entirely. Thebiggestproblemposed,bycervicalarthritis, is that thepainwill typically cause decreased range of motion in the neck. This actually increases your risk of injury, as a result of a sudden movement. Arthritis also causes discomfort and frustration, as you are not able to utilize your neck normally. There are plenty of situations, in which cervical arthritis grows so severe, that it can cause chronic poor posture and even a reduction in height. Addressing the Core Problem The majority of neck and head pain can be helped with one simple strategy: strength building. Frequently, the absolute cause of neck or head pain, is a result of poor posture or quickened motion. Building core strength, as well as strength in the neck, can make a huge difference, in your ability to handle tasks without experiencing chronic pain.
