Neck and shoulder pain is a very common type of pain caused by diseases of the neck or cervical spine, leading to pain in the neck, shoulders, and upper limbs. Strictly speaking, neck and shoulder pain is only a symptom and can be seen in various diseases. Some conditions that cause neck and shoulder pain, such as cervical spondylosis, can also lead to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and sudden falls. Shoulder and upper limb disorders can also cause neck pain. Some diseases are very serious, such as cervical fracture, dislocation, tetanus, or early subarachnoid hemorrhage, which are critical emergencies and may present with neck and shoulder pain as the first or primary symptom. Others are relatively mild, to the extent that they may not even be considered a disease, such as acute neck strain, mental tension, or overexertion, which can cause neck and shoulder pain.
This book is specifically written for patients with neck and shoulder pain, introducing some simple diagnostic knowledge and self-treatment methods. These methods are the crystallization of the experiences of physicians from ancient and modern times, simple and practical, and have been proven to be highly effective through practice. We believe that readers who follow the book for treatment will achieve satisfactory results. While carefully reading this book, the diagnosis, guidance, and advice of a doctor are essential. If the therapy in this book is ineffective or symptoms worsen, professional medical diagnosis and treatment must be sought.
