What is Cervical and Lumbar Pain?
- Cervical pain refers to discomfort in the neck area (C1-C7 vertebrae).
- Lumbar pain affects the lower back (L1-L5 vertebrae).
Both can cause stiffness, sharp or dull pain, and may radiate to other body areas.
Common Causes of Cervical and Lumbar Pain
- Poor Posture: Long hours sitting with bad posture strain neck and lower back muscles.
- Injury and Trauma: Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can damage the spine.
- Degenerative Conditions: Arthritis, herniated discs, and osteoporosis cause spinal pain.
- Muscle Strains and Sprains: Overuse or sudden movements lead to muscle injury.
- Stress and Tension: Emotional stress tightens muscles in the neck and back.
Symptoms to Watch Out For
- Persistent aching or sharp pain in neck or lower back
- Stiffness and limited movement
- Radiating pain to shoulders, arms, hips, or legs
- Numbness or tingling sensations
- Headaches or dizziness (cervical pain)
- Difficulty standing, walking, or bending
