NECK PAIN MAY
HAVE VARIED CAUSES
Have you ever noticed it is
really difficult being jovial and
high-spirited when your neck is
stiff and sore? That pain you
are experiencing is truly a
"pain in the neck"!
Neck pain can be due to a
variety of causes. A very com
mon and truly painful cause is
torticollis.
Torticollis literally means a
twisted neck and is due to a
sudden muscle spasm on one
side of the neck. When the
muscle goes into spasm, it
shortens, causing the head to
be pulled and rotated to that
side. This usually results in
sharp, stabbing pain particular
ly if you try to turn the head.
You're wondering, how does
this muscle get this way? Ac
tually is occurs usually without
any trauma.
Typical reasons for a tor
ticollis to develop are: sleeping
with your neck crooked, sleep
ing on the couch with your
head on the armrest, or sleep
ing in a cool draft. A muscle, if
allowed to get chilled, will
tighten and can progress into a
spasm. Treatment needs to be
implemented as soon as possi
ble and usually results in com
plete restoration of function'
within one or two weeks.
Another common cause of
neck pain is arthritis. If arthritis
is causing the symptoms it is
not necessary to resign
yourself to a life of pain and
neck stiffness. Although ar
thritis cannot be cured, its
symptoms can be managed
very effectively using exercise,
spinal maniupulation and
traction.
Perhaps the most common
cause of neck pain and stiff
ness is due to a pinched nerve.
Sometimes due to a sudden
jerk or twisting of the neck,
basketball include 7-8, 9-10,11-12 and
13-14 year old areas. Both girls and
boys teams are offered in all age
divisions.
Tryouts will be held on Dec. 2 at the
county’s three middle school gyms,
and teams will practice the month of
December. Games will begin in
January.
Anyone wishing more information
or desiring to coach a team should call
Greg Little at Cumming City Park at
781-2030.
