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.
