Neck Strain & Neck Sprain

Neck strain is an injury caused to muscle or tendon of the neck that generally occurs when these muscles or tendons get stretched too far & tear, whereas neck sprain is an injury to the ligament of the neck.

Symptoms of neck sprain and strain are similar and can be based on the size of tears and location. Symptoms of neck sprain and neck strains involve pain in the back of the neck and upper shoulder that become more and more painful as you move your head. Difficulty in moving the head or rotating the neck is a critical symptom of neck strain or sprain. Another symptom includes headache that feels worse in the region of the back of the head. Increased irritability and fatigue are the major problems with neck strain & sprain. Other symptoms are decreased range of motion and neck stiffness, tingling, numbness, or weakness in arms or hands. Diagnosing neck strain or sprain includes a comprehensive physical examination, your doctor may ask you how the injury occurred, what your symptoms are, what makes your symptoms worse, as well as check the range of motion in your neck. X-ray to evaluate the site of pain and to rule out the severity of the condition patient can face. Most symptoms of neck sprains go away in 4 to 6 weeks however severe injury takes a long time.

Treatment of neck sprain and strain could include medication under professional guidance, it will help to reduce pain and swelling in the affected area. Muscle relaxant also helps to ease spasms, Icing in the area of pain for few times in a day for 2- 3 days can reduce inflammation and swell at the pain site.
