We've all heard a friend complain about having neck pain, but do we know exactly what type of pain it is and what causes it?!

Neck pain or ' cervicalgia ' refers to pain that arises at the level of the cervical vertebrae, that is, the seven short bones that make up the part of the spinal column closest to the head and that allow for movement.

This pain often radiates to the shoulders and sometimes even the arms, making even the most basic activities difficult.

What are the main causes?

Chronic neck pain is essentially caused by incorrect posture, cold or stress. The acute variant is instead related to more serious neck traumas such as: whiplash, cervical hernia, dorsal hyperkyphosis, lumbar hyperkyphosis, osteophytes, spondylosis and power sports with overloads.

In order to see improvements, it is advisable to wear a soft cervical collar to protect the cervical spine; sleep at night resting your head on a specific orthopedic pillow; assume and maintain a correct posture and obviously undergo targeted Osteopathy sessions to relieve pain.
