Vertebral blockage
A vertebral blockage is described as a condition in which the vertebrae are not completely dislocated, but are brought into a fixed malposition by tense back muscles, which can lead to pain, restricted movement and poor posture. Vertebral blockages usually disappear on their own after a few days, but due to the sometimes severe pain, they are perceived as very stressful by those affected. Warmth and rest, as well as relaxation techniques can provide relief.
The short-term use of analgesic medication is also helpful.To prevent vertebral blockages, it can help to strengthen the back muscles with certain exercises and always warm up before exercise. Vertebral blockages are usually caused by jerky or too fast movements. Vertebral blockages can occur along the entire vertebral blockage and, depending on their location, can cause various problems and movement restrictions. If the symptoms are very severe, physiotherapeutic treatment can help to resolve the blockage.
Stiff neck
A stiff neck occurs when, due to one-sided strain or long one-sided tasks, such as a lot of computer work, the muscles in the neck area tense up and can lead to painful movement restrictions. Even if you get a draft from the air conditioning or an open window, this can promote the development of a stiff neck. If you are affected by a stiff neck, you should first try to avoid the trigger.
Heat applications, as well as exercises to loosen up the muscles, can help to alleviate the problems. Usually, these problems disappear on their own after a few days. If the pain is very severe, painkillers can also be used or measures such as physiotherapy can be considered. It is always better to go to the doctor too early than too late. If the symptoms of a stiff neck do not subside or worsen after a week, a doctor should find out the exact cause to rule out more serious diseases.
Summary
Overall, the shoulder-arm syndrome is a clinical picture with many different symptoms. Fortunately, the shoulder-arm syndrome usually disappears on its own. However, those affected should still take care not to ignore the pain or restricted movement for too long, as it can otherwise become a chronic problem.
The cause of the shoulder-arm syndrome should also be investigated so that more serious diseases can be detected and possible incorrect posture corrected. This enables patients to actively counteract the recurrence of shoulder-arm syndrome themselves and to alleviate existing problems.
