Neck and Shoulder Pain

Neck and shoulder pain are the most common conditions we see in the clinic due to the modern lifestyles and high stress environment especially in Singapore. It is getting more concerning as we start seeing more children as young as 8-10 years old with neck and shoulder pain.

Neck & Shoulder Pain

Causes

Poor posture

Slouching or hunching over a computer or phone for extended periods shifts our head forward and increases stress in our neck leading to early degeneration.

Overuse or repetitive strain

Repetitive motions, such as working on a computer or lifting heavy objects.

Muscle tension and stress

Tension in the neck and shoulder muscles can be caused by stress, anxiety, or emotional factors

Injuries

Trauma to the neck or shoulder, such as whiplash from a car accident or a fall.

Age-related wear and tear

As we age, the cartilage and other soft tissues in the neck and shoulder can degenerate, leading to pain and reduced mobility.

Pinched nerves

Pinched nerves in the neck or shoulder can cause radiating pain, numbness, and tingling in the arms and hands.

Symptoms

  • Pain or tenderness
  • Headaches, particularly at the base of the skull
  • Limited range of motion
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or hands
  • Muscle spasms or knots in the neck and shoulders
  • Fatigue or lack of concentration
  • Poor sleep quality
