Upper back and neck pain



upper back and neck pain



Upper back and neck pain is very common and can have a variety of causes. Cold laser therapy or laser acupuncture can often effectively treat this type of problem. If a bad posture is involved, correction of this situation is necessary in order to achieve long term relief.

Our stressful lifestyle favours tensing of the neck and top of shoulders. Inadequate positions at work for long periods of time also precipitates this type of problem. Secretaries, computer workers and production line workers often complain of upper back and neck pain.

The problem may be acute or chronic.

Acute upper back and neck ache arises either from a chill or a strain. Getting a draft in the upper back region from sleeping with an open window on a cold night can cause the muscle to spasm and cause pain and limitation of neck movement. A whiplash in a car accident, or a simple sudden turn of the head to one side while having tense muscles can cause strain and pain.

Chronic upper back and neck ache is usually caused by repeated acute attacks improperly taken care of. The pain may arise from persistent spasm and inflammation of the soft tissues of the upper back and neck. Intervertebral disc or joint problems of the neck and upper back can also be the cause of pain.
