Neck Pain & Muscle Tension
Neck pain is increasingly common among Singaporeans, largely due to sedentary lifestyles and frequent electronic device usage, which can lead to stiffness and discomfort. Other factors, such as poor posture, workplace ergonomics, whiplash, and excessive use of painkillers or muscle relaxants, can also contribute to neck pain.
The cervical spine consists of seven small vertebrae, supporting the head's weight (around 5 kg on average). Its high flexibility makes it prone to strains, injuries, and varying degrees of pain, often accompanied by sensations like burning, tingling, and numbness.
Neck pain can also radiate to the shoulders and arms when nerves become compressed. Chiropractors can alleviate neck pain by repositioning bones, relaxing muscles, and reducing nerve pressure.
