Things?
Erroneously known as "cervical", a more correct term could be "neck pain"; however, this is a pure subtlety: the term "cervical" is understood as pain around the neck is now it's part of everyday vocabulary, which is accepted and explanatory.
The cervical is a pain in the posterior region of the cervical spine and it is one of the most widespread pathologies. The upper vertebrae are involved, that is, the vertebrae that represent the support of the neck and head. Specifically, this musculoskeletal disorder affects the cervical spine, or the C1-C7 vertebrae.
Cause
The causes of cervical pain can be multiple and very different from each other.
- SEDENTARY LIFE
Untrained and poorly toned muscles do not adequately support the spine and therefore also the cervical vertebrae. Constant neck exercises can help keep the muscles toned and prevent cervical disorders.
- POSTURE
The position we assume when we are sitting at a desk, at the table, or even when walking, can be the cause of pain in the cervical tract. External factors also influence our posture, such as the structures on which we sit or rest (chairs, beds, sofas).
- TRAUMATIC EVENTS
An accident at work, whiplash, cold shock, joint trauma and carrying heavy objects can cause problems in the cervical area, both in the bone and muscle structures.
- CERVICAL ARTHROSIS
It is a degenerative disorder that worsens with age: the cartilage of the intervertebral discs wears out and the vertebrae come closer together, resulting in compression and crushing of the spine.
- TEETH
Cervical problems can also be caused by dental problems: when there is malocclusion, for example, that is, the support of the teeth when the mouth is closed is not correct and there is a lack of balance in our mouth, the jaw and jaw muscles are affected, with pain that radiates to the cervical tract.
- Stress.
Even excessive psychophysical stress, particularly widespread nowadays in Italy, linked to periods of work that are too intense or to family situations of emotional tension, can have repercussions on the cervical spine, giving rise to problems of cervicalgia characterised by pain and muscle contractures.
Cervical: symptoms
Neck pain is often associated with symptoms such as headache, stiff neck and/or neck stiffness.
In some specific cases, it is also possible to observe them in combination with neurological disorders, such as:
- Radicular pain felt along the shoulder and the arm;
- Radiculopathy cervical with altered reflexes, tingling, numbness and lack of Force at the level of upper limb;
- Loss of control of bowel and/or bladder function (incontinence intestinal and bladder incontinence);
- Radicular pain and neurological disorders (tingling, numbness, etc.) to both limbs, upper or lower;
