Title: Neck Strain - Symptoms, Causes and Treatment


1
Neck Strain - Symptoms, Causes and Treatment
2
What Is Neck Strain?
  • Neck strain occurs when one or more fibers or
    tendons in the neck muscles are overstretched and
    tear. It is a type of injury that is also called
    a pulled muscle.
  • Its intensity depends on the size and location of
    the fiber damage. The neck strain gets better on
    its own within a few days or weeks. The pain of
    the neck strain can be mild to severe.
  • Grade Of Neck Strain
  • A strain or tear in certain fibers of the neck
    muscles is classified as grade one.
  • At the same time, when 90 of the muscle fibers
    are stretched, it is kept in grade-2 injury.
  • When the neck muscle has completely ruptured, it
    is classified as Grade 3.
  • However, it does not occur in the neck and is not
    referred to as a neck strain.
  • Straining of the neck occurs due to sudden or
    pressure twisting of the neck. This can happen
    due to a fall or a car accident. Holding the neck
    in one position for a long time can cause similar
    pain in the neck muscles.

What Are The Symptoms Of Neck Strain?
  • The symptoms of neck strain are pain and
    decreased range of motion of the neck. Pain
    occurs after an injury. It is not an unusual
    situation for a person to not feel any discomfort
    in the initial stages. Since most inflammatory
    changes come slowly.
  • Feeling severe pain immediately after an injury
    can be a danger signal, in which the injury may
    be more serious than you think.
  • Usually, the patient feels fine after a neck
    injury. The next morning, the patient experiences
    neck pain and loss of range of motion.
  • Other symptoms include the inability to perform
    routine tasks or activities that were previously
    performed.
  • You should be alert if you notice symptoms such
    as nerve pain or a twitching feeling in the
    nerve, such as weakness, numbness, tremors,
    imbalance, and dizziness. You don't get swollen
    lymph nodes when you have a neck strain.
  • When the strain or stiffness in the neck is
    severe, it usually spreads to the lower back.
    Symptoms such as trouble chewing, swallowing, and
    breathing are rare. Medical help is imperative as
    soon as such symptoms are seen.

Causes Of Neck Strain
  • An injury to the neck can lead to a strain. This
    type of injury often results when the head is
    pulled backward (hyperextension) or forward when
    trauma occurs.
  • Injury from rotation and compression can lead to
    neck strain and soft tissue injury.
  • In-car accidents, people often have their heads
    turned either forward or backward, which causes
    strain on their neck.
  • In a common situation, when a person wearing a
    seat belt constantly keeps the neck forward or
    backward, it causes neck strain.
  • Pressure from one side can cause the neck to
    twist on the other side, and in rare cases, the
    neck is pulled back.
  • Any such movement causes strain on the neck.
    People working in the office by bending their
    neck or backward get strain in their neck.
    Sitting with poor posture also causes the problem
    of neck strain.
