What is a neck strain?

A neck strain is a term used to describe any type of transient or chronic damage suffered by the muscles and tendons around the neck area. This type of condition usually results from excessive pulling, pushing, reaching or other motions that can stretch the tendons excessively. While generally not life threatening, it can lead to discomfort, soreness and difficulty moving your neck freely.

What are the symptoms of a neck strain?

Symptoms of a neck strain may include pain, tightness, tenderness, and restricted mobility in the affected area. Other signs can include discomfort when turning the head to one side or the other, headaches on either side of the neck, localized muscle spasms in the neck or upper back, and pain that radiates to the shoulders or arms. It is important to seek medical advice if any of these symptoms persist for more than a few days as they may indicate a more serious underlying health condition.

What are the treatments for a neck strain?

When it comes to treating a neck strain, chiropractic care, physiotherapy, and massage therapy are all great options. Seeing a chiropractor helps to reduce nerve irritation and muscle tension associated with a neck strain. Physiotherapy involves various activities such as stretching and strengthening exercises that promote increased flexibility in the neck area. Massage therapy helps to break up areas of tight muscle fibres, reducing discomfort when performing certain motions and allowing for more range of motion in the affected joints.
