Neck pain pathophysiology

Overview

The exact pathogenesis of neck pain is not fully understood.It is thought that neck pain is the result of disturbed oxidative metabolism and increase levels of pain-generating substances in neck muscles,that cause impaired local muscle circulation.Is caused by either changing coordination of cervical muscles and impaired proprioception in the neckand shoulders.

It is understood that neck pain is the result of disturbed oxidative metabolism and increase levels of pain-generating substances in neck muscles,that cause impaired local muscle circulation.
