Causes of Tension Neck Syndrome and Other Related Disorders
Below are the most prominent causes of such disorders:
Muscle pain
Muscle pain and soreness of the neck and shoulders are evident side-effects of over-exertion due to long, strenuous hours at work. Stress isn’t just a state of our minds, it extends way beyond it and is multi-faceted.
No wonder, physical stress has become a part and parcel of our daily lives. A lack of regular fitness activities does not help the situation either. Gradually, hard knots develop in the neck muscles, creating trigger points or knots that are sensitive to touch.
Muscle spasm
You will know you have muscle spasms when you suddenly have a stiff neck, making it difficult for you to turn your head. This will possibly be accompanied by pain. A muscle injury, a nerve problem, spinal disc, or even emotional stress may lead to a spasm. However, there is no conclusive research to prove the actual cause behind muscle spasms.
