About Mechanical neck pain
Mechanical neck pain is recognised as the most common form of neck pain. The pain can be felt locally in the neck, and also in the arms or shoulders. The condition can be worsened by resting the head in one place for a significant period of time. Those with mechanical neck pain may experience the constriction of head mobility, as well as muscle spasms and tightness. Mechanical neck pain can also cause headaches.
In general, mechanical neck pain will subside after a few days. If it worsens, this could be the indication of a more serious condition.
Mechanical neck pain is caused by the straining of the neck, which occurs through sustained posture or certain movements. This pain can affect the tendons, muscles and discs, as well as the spine’s joints.
Those with occupations which require repeated movements of the neck, or keeping the neck in the same posture for long periods, such as jobs which involve computer work, can be typical candidates for mechanical neck pain.
