Summary

The stiff neck is caused by muscular tension of the cervical spine. The tone of the muscles can increase due to various causes. These often include incorrect posture of the neck as well as traumatic effects on the muscles.

Traumas include not only large whiplash injuries, but also dislocations caused by too fast a head movement when looking to the side. Degenerative diseases such as arthrosis or slipped discs in the cervical spine can also lead to tension and must be clarified before a decision on therapy is made. Clarification by a doctor is particularly important if the cause is an infection.

In the case of a stiff neck, there is a wide range of possible causes, but also of treatment options. In order to choose an effective therapy, the cause must be clarified by a physician in the case of chronic and/or severe complaints. Muscular tension in the neck can be relieved by appropriate treatment.
