LIFE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A PAIN IN THE NECK
Do you find yourself rubbing, massaging, or stretching your neck after a long day at work? Almost 15% of Americans report experiencing neck pain in a given year 2 . A study performed on 100 subjects, who were 20 to 30 years old and worked at a computer at least 4-5 hours a day, showed more alarming statistics.

The prevalence of neck pain in this study was 81% of males and 91% of females, with the prevalence increasing in those who worked longer hours 1 . Similar to all spine pain, the factors associated with neck pain include ergonomics (posture, physical activity), individual (BMI, genes, medical history), psychosocial (job satisfaction, stress, and anxiety), and behavioral (smoking and level of physical activity) 3 . The study mentioned above
has the tools to help prevent and relieve neck pain! Physical therapists are equipped to educate patients on how to alter and improve desk and computer set-ups in order to support better posture. In addition, a PT assesses neck mobility and checks for radicular symptoms such as nerve pain, numbness, and tingling that would indicate nerve compression. Radicular symptoms are commonly associated with limited neck mobility and poor posture. A PT will also evaluate upper body strength to determine which muscles need to be lengthened or stretched, and which muscles would benefit from strengthening to better support the spine and shoulders. Physical therapists may use manual techniques applied to both joints and soft tissue structures in combination with therapeutic exercises to increase neck mobility and decrease pain. They will also assess joint movement and posture with everyday tasks in order to educate the patient on improved body mechanics. So, don’t let life be a pain in the neck! Call your physical therapist to help you to achieve a pain-free life! Sources: 1.Aggarwal,P.andReza,M. (2013). ImpactofComputeruseonPrevalenceofNeckPainandConsequentDisability.
