There are many individuals who suffer from sudden or long term neck and head pain.. Neck pain is also known as cervical pain that is very complex arrangement of our body. The head is around 7 kilograms that the neck helps it to move in various directions. At the same time 4 arteries and veins in the neck and head region helps to transfer oxygen and blood to the brain and heart as well.
Commonly we find that neck joints (cervical spine) become stiff or locked much like a rusty hinge. This in turn usually causes protective muscle spasm of some neck and shoulder muscles and weakness of others. The longer this abnormal scenario exists, the harder it is to reverse the habit. Your neck posture alters, which strains adjacent joints and muscles, and the condition cyclically deteriorates. Ultimately you end up with a sore neck.
