Why can a neck be sick behind?

The cervical spinal column is more subject to various problems and lesions due to a high P, the first sign of most diseases and any injury is the pain that occurs.

How and where exactly the neck can be sick behind?

Manifestation of neck in the neck

The pain on the back of the neck may appear differently.First, the sensations are divided into several types (depending on the place of their manifestation:

  1. Visceral: It develops as a result of problems with internal organs under the neck.
  2. Somatic: It develops as a result of spine injuries.
  3. Central: It develops as a consequence of the damage to the central nervous system.
  4. Neuropathic: It is developed due to the deteriorated work of the peripheral or central nervous system, if they are caused by inappropriate activity of neurons.

This can be felt as follows:

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

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

  1. Dizziness.
  2. Reducing sensitivity, numbness of hands (the most felt in fingers' yolks).
  3. Headache.
  4. Darkening in the eyes.

Unpleasant sensations in manifestation time can be:

  1. Chronic.In this case, the neck hurts behind constantly.Intensity can change: weaken (for example, after the use of analgesics) and increase.
  2. Sharp.Appear after a complete absence.In general, it indicates the appearance of problems or to exacerbate existing disease.They can manifest both without obvious reasons, and after some actions or situations (acute movement, hypothermia, injury).

Possible reasons

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

  1. Sudden head movements, especially if they are performed after sitting/lying down in a position.
  2. Neck smoking.
  3. A long stay in an awkward position (lying, sitting, standing, no matter).A particularly relevant factor for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle or who have a sitting or standing job.
  4. Selected pillow incorrectly.
  5. The lesions of the cervical spinal column, the muscles or ligaments are "fresh" or received for a long time (in case of inadequate or lower treatment, or if the lesion was too serious, and the body did not recover until the end).
  6. Rheumatic diseases
  7. Cervical column pathologies, muscles or ligaments: congenital or acquired.
  8. Several other diseases: lymphadenitis, a stop abscess, some infectious pathologies (polyomyelitis, osteomyelitis, tetanus), connective tissue diseases.
  9. Diseases of internal organs (mainly the gastrointestinal or heart tract), 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 muscle system, in which the pain appears in the back of the neck:

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

How to eliminate pain?

The main council: if the neck hurts from behind (in a child or adult, it doesn't matter), and the reason for these sensations is not clear, first of all, it must seek medical help.For a precise diagnosis, you must undergo an X line, magnetic resonance, CT or ultrasound, depending on the complete clinical image.

The following methods are used to facilitate pain:

  1. Exercise therapy(Performing exercises).For the department of Cervical, the set of exercises is small and is limited to the inclinations and the rotation of the head.The key rule: movements should be done without problems, slowly and carefully.
  2. The correct choice of mattresses and pillows.It is especially true if the pains feel clearly after sleep.
  3. Massage.It can be performed by both a professional masseuse and independently: it can easily reach the neck.Massage procedures are used for most diseases of the musculoskeletal system and rehabilitation after injuries.
  4. Drug therapy(tablets, ointments, injections).
  5. Physiotherapeutic procedures.

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