Common Symptoms of Neck & Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder pain can significantly impact your daily life. Here are the common sensations associated with this discomfort.
Aching & Stiffness
You may feel a dull, persistent ache and your muscles may feel tight and inflexible, limiting your range of motion when turning your head.
Tingling or Numbness
You might experience tingling or numbness that radiates from your neck down to your shoulder, arm, or even into your hand.
Tension Headaches
Muscle tension in the neck and shoulder region often leads to frequent tension headaches, causing discomfort across the head.
Risk Factors Contributing To Pain
-
Psychological Factors: Stress, anxiety, and depression can contribute to or exacerbate muscle pain.
-
Sleep Problems: Poor sleep quality hinders muscle recovery and overall physical well-being.
-
Poor Posture & Behaviour: Engaging in activities that strain the neck (e.g., slouching) increases risk.
-
Cognitive Variables: How you perceive and manage pain can influence your experience of discomfort.
Crucial Note: If you experience chest pain along with shoulder and neck pain, seek immediate medical attention, as this can be a symptom of a heart condition like Angina.
