How and where exactly is the neck behind?

manifestation of neck pain

The pain in the back of the neck may appear differently.First of all, the sensations are divided into different types (depending on the place of their event:

  1. Visceral: it develops following problems with the internal organs under the neck.
  2. Somatic: it develops due to lesions of the spinal column.
  3. Central: it develops as a consequence of damage to the central nervous system.
  4. Neuropathic: it develops due to a compromise of the peripheral or central nervous system, if they are caused by the improper activity of neurons.

This can be felt as follows:

  1. Pain in muscle fibers.They can arise on both sides and on one - right or left.
  2. The pain behind the neck, which radiates towards other parts of the body: in the back of the head (base of the skull), in the head, in the articulation of the shoulder, in the arm, in the ear.
  3. Pain in the fabrics.

Very often, painful sensations arise in combination with other symptoms.

  1. Dizziness.
  2. Reducing sensitivity, numbness of the hands (the most felt at hand).
  3. Heachache.
  4. Dark in the eyes.

The unpleasant sensations over the time of the event can be:

  1. Chronic.In this case, the neck hurts from behind.The intensity can change: weakening (for example, after the use of painkillers) and increase.
  2. Sharp.They appear after a complete absence.They usually indicate the appearance of problems or to exacerbate the existing disease.They can manifest both without obvious reasons and after some actions or situations (acute movement, hypothermia, injuries).

Possible reasons

The neck can get sick behind (on the right, on the left, with the return to other parts of the body) for a series of reasons:

  1. Sudden movements of the head, especially if they are performed after sitting/lying in a position.
  2. Neck smoking.
  3. A long stay in an uncomfortable position (lying, sitting, standing - it doesn't matter).A particularly relevant factor for people who guide a sedentary lifestyle or for a job sitting or standing.
  4. Cushion selected incorrectly.
  5. The lesions of the cervical spine, the muscles or ligaments are "fresh" or received for a long time (in the case of improper or lower treatment, or if the injury was too serious and the body did not recover until the end).
  6. Rheumatic diseases.
  7. Pathologies of the cervical column, muscles or ligaments - congenital or acquired.
  8. A number of other diseases: lymphaodenitis, a stall abscess, some infectious pathologies (polio, osteomyelitis, tetanus), connective tissue diseases.
  9. Diseases of internal organs (mainly the gastrointestinal tract or heart), in which pain can be given to the neck.
  10. Psychological factors: stress, tension, depression.Strong experiences lead to neurotic pain.

Separately, it is worth highlighting a series of pathologies of the bone-muscular system, in which pain often appears in the back of the neck:

  1. Muscle cramps:They present themselves due to a long uncomfortable position of the head (included when a person sleeps).
  2. Osteocondrosis:Loss of elasticity of intervertebral discs.Neck pain with radiation in the back of the head and head is the first sign of this pathology.They usually appear constantly or after negligent head movements.
  3. Pronstance and hernia.The main factor that leads to neck pain on the right or left, or on both sides.Often the pain can be administered to the shoulder joint and accompanied by numbness of the hands.

How to eliminate pain?

The main advice: if the neck hurts from behind (in a child or an adult, it doesn't matter) and the reason for these sensations is not clear - first of all, you should seek medical assistance.For an accurate diagnosis, you will have to undergo an X, MRI, CT or ultrasound radius, depending on the complete clinical picture.

The following methods are used to facilitate pain:

  1. Operating therapy(Execution of exercises).For the cervical department, the set of exercises is small and is limited to the inclinations and the rotation of the head.The key rule: movements should be made fluidly, slowly and carefully.
  2. The right choice of mattress and cushions.It is particularly true if the pains are clearly warned after sleep.
  3. Massage.It can be performed both by a professional masseur and independently: you can easily reach the neck.The massage procedures are used for most diseases of the musculoskeletal system and rehabilitation after injuries.
  4. Drug therapy(tablets, ointments, injections).
  5. Physiotherapy procedures.

Note that:The above methods are used as a symptomatic treatment.For the complete elimination of pain, it is necessary to identify and treat the disease itself.
