The common pathogenesis of stiff neck is that there are no symptoms before going to sleep, but after getting up in the morning, I feel obvious pain in the nape and back, and the neck movement is limited. This shows that the disease starts after sleep and is closely related to the sleeping pillow and sleeping posture. Now let's talk about how to deal with the back pain.

First, there are two main causes of stiff neck: one is muscle sprain, such as poor sleep posture at night, head and neck in excessive deflection position for a long time; If the pillow is too high or too low, the head and neck will be over stretched or over flexed, and the muscle tension on one side of the neck will cause the cervical facet joint to be twisted for a long time, that is, if the muscle tension occurs, the cervical facet joint will be twisted for a long time, and the static injury will occur, which will make the muscles and tendons of the injured area hard and discordant, the Qi and blood running is not smooth, and the local pain is uncomfortable, The movement is obviously limited. Second, feel cold, such as sleep cold, summer greedy cool, so that the neck and back Qi and blood stagnation, collateral obstruction, resulting in stiff pain, adverse action.
Second: the clinical manifestations of stiff neck are sudden sensation of the back of neck in the morning, pain and discomfort in the upper back, mostly in one side, or pain in both sides, or one side is light.

matters needing attention
The onset of stiff neck is fast, the course of disease is very short, and it can be cured within one week. Timely treatment can shorten the course of disease, without treatment can also be self-healing, but the chance of recurrence is more.
