Pain, neck discomfort! Why did I suddenly develop neck sprain disease?
In daily life, we often hear people complaining of neck pain, and some people even have their heads tilted for unknown reasons. This is a symptom of cervical sprain disease. Torticollis, also known as torticollis, is an uncomfortable condition characterized by an abnormal, asymmetrical position of the head or neck. The patient may experience pain and difficulty turning the head. So, how did this situation arise? What are the reasons?
Symptoms and signs of sprained neck disease
Symptoms of sprained neck disease often include:
Fixed or dynamic tilting and rotation with flexion or extension of the head or neck.
Depending on the position of the head and neck, sprains can be divided into several types:
- Laterocollis in which the head tilts toward the shoulders
- Rotational torticollis in which the head rotates along its long axis
- Forward bending of the head (anterocollis)
- Retrocollis with head extended backwards
In addition to these, neck pain, lump formation, and even head tremors may occur. It is important to unpack the various factors that contribute to these symptoms.
Causes of neck sprain disease
Neck sprains can develop for a variety of reasons, including:
Muscle fibrosis, congenital spinal abnormalities, and central or peripheral nerve damage, etc.
Common neck twisting diseases can be roughly divided into two categories: congenital and acquired. Congenital muscular torsion is present at birth, and most cases may result from birth trauma or abnormal position in the fetus. Among them, congenital muscular tortuosity accounts for a higher proportion of infants, with a reported incidence rate of 0.3-2.0%.
Diagnosis of cervical sprain disease
For children suspected of having sprained neck disease, doctors will confirm the diagnosis through a detailed medical history and physical examination. The examination includes observing the range of motion of the neck and ruling out other conditions that may be causing the symptoms.
In addition to physical examination, your doctor may recommend imaging studies to rule out any structural abnormalities if necessary.
Treatment of cervical sprain disease
There are various treatments for sprained neck disease, generally including physical therapy, medication, and surgery when necessary. Physical therapy involves strengthening and restoring muscle stretch and flexibility. For some patients, Botox injections are a short-term treatment option.
Reshaping correct sitting and standing postures can effectively improve muscle stretching, thereby reducing symptoms.
Summary
The occurrence of neck sprain disease is usually closely related to unhealthy lifestyle postures and external factors. Understanding the background of this condition and its potential treatment options is important for everyone who suffers from sprains. Have you ever thought about whether there are some small habits in your daily life that may be the cause of future neck pain?
