Cervical Muscle Spasm treatment in San Andres Cholula

When stiffness and pain appear in the neck area, this is usually referred to as a cervical muscle strain, a sustained tension of the muscles in this region.

What is it? It is the involuntary and sustained contraction of the neck muscles, which can limit movement and cause discomfort toward the shoulders or head.

Common causes: prolonged postures, stress, poor sleeping positions, continuous screen use, or sudden movements.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist and the physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist can assess it, with support from the physical therapist; a general practitioner provides initial guidance. If the discomfort recurs or does not ease, it is worth having a professional examine the cause and guide the most suitable management for you.
