Common causes of neck pain

  • Neck pain is most commonly a cause of sleeping in an abnormal position that has caused a sprain or strain to your neck muscles. Your neck muscles are constantly working hard to keep your head upright. Strains and sprains can also be a result of twisting around too quickly or from bad posture. Sitting down at a computer all day long when the computer is at the wrong height for your line of vision is also a common cause of neck pain.

  • Neck pain is felt as a stiff neck or sharp twinges when turning in a particular direction. Ongoing neck stiffness and pain is most likely to be due to bad posture. Whereas sudden onset of sharp neck pain is like to be ‘acute torticollis.’ This is when you wake up and you feel as if your neck is stuck in a particular position. Both types of pain are due to tension and stiffness within the neck muscles.
  • The best treatment for neck pain that is muscular is too carry on as normal. To hold your neck in one position will put extra strain on all the muscles in both your upper and lower back leading to further problems. It may feel impossible to carry on as normal. This is where massage comes in. Massaging the muscle with a heated handheld massager will reduce the stiffness and tightness caused by abnormal sleeping position and bad posture. Helping these muscles to relax will help relieve pain and give you more flexibility.
  • If bad posture is the problem then massage can help too but first you need to correct the way you sit at work. Here are a few tips; your computer screen should be roughly an arms length away. The screen should be in you direct line of vision so that you are not having to bend you neck to look up or down at it. Your chair should be at a height so that your feet are flat on the floor. Take regular breaks and massage your neck every few hours when sitting down for long periods of time. This can be achieved with the uPapa neck and shoulder massager.
