The most common problems are the neck numbness and pain, and can
occur at any age. Those are usually the result of neck muscle
spasms, and make it difficult to move around and create
a feeling of uncomfortable stiffness.
The contraction of muscles most often occurs due to a sudden
movement, the wrong position during sleep, due to the
exposure to draught, etc. The cause of the pain may be
associated with the damage of cartilage of cervical vertebrae
or with intervertebral disc hernia.
Then appears a strong, sudden pain, difficulty moving, and
sometimes even immovability. Then the pain occurs, but it
also suddenly disappears. The treatment consists of taking
pain killers and medications for muscle relaxation, of
physical therapy, and massage proved to be very effective,
too.
