Why does cervical vertebra hurt?
Cervical pain may be related to the following reasons: 1. It may be caused by cervical trauma, and it is common for patients to do strenuous activities involving the neck, such as fighting, gymnastics, running and so on. In addition, we also see that there are old neck injuries, such as whiplash-like injuries of the cervical spine in a car accident, which will lead to obvious pain of the cervical spine afterwards. 2. It may be caused by cold in the neck. This situation is more common in patients with insufficient neck wear or being blown by cool wind, causing a series of aseptic inflammation of cervical spine, which in turn causes pain. It may be caused by bad posture. This situation is very common in today's society. Due to the popularity of smart phones and computers, many patients need to sit and bend for a long time to maintain a fixed posture of the cervical spine. This is very easy to induce degenerative changes in the cervical spine and muscle spasms around the cervical spine, which in turn leads to pain. This situation may also be caused by neck strain. Some patients overuse the neck, such as using heavy objects on the top of their heads, which will greatly accelerate the degeneration of the cervical spine and cause cervical pain.
