A large proportion of people suffer from back and neck pain. These may originate from a variety of factors. Some examples include sitting in front of a computer screen for hours on end daily causing prolonged postural strain on the neck and back; high impact sports may aggravate certain groups of muscles leading to muscular imbalance and resulting in aching pains and stiffness. Accidents and sudden falls could also affect the ligaments in the neck and back. Whiplash injury from car accidents are amongst the more common causes of neck pain.
These aches and pain in the lower back and neck may start off as minor inconveniences. However, if they last for more than a couple of months, a case of chronic neck and lower back pain may have developed. Neck and back pain is typically present as discomfort in the specific area, but if the nerves are affected, this pain may spread to the legs and arms.
Some of the symptoms associated with back and neck pain may include:
Dull or sharp pain in the back
Numbness or a tingling sensation above or below the knee, or in the arm
Stiffness anywhere from the neck to tailbone
Consistent aching feeling in the mid or lower back, especially after sitting or standing for a long time
Headaches and migraines associated with neck injury or neck pain
Sharp shooting pains or dull aches in the shoulder
These symptoms of ache and pain can result in long-term tension and muscle degeneration if left untreated. Should you be experiencing pain in your neck or back, it would be best to seek treatment from a professional specialist. While imaging may reveal a slipped disc or other bony issues, there are other pain generators that may not be seen via imaging. With the body being incredibly complex, pain may have different origins, which the sufferer may simply describe as “back” or “neck” pain. This entire pain picture may be complicated with sensations of numbness or pain in the limbs, which may be interpreted as the slipped disc affecting the nerves.
