A 2015 Cochrane systematic review found that there is no high-quality evidence assessing the effectiveness of spinal manipulation for treating neck pain. [13] Moderate-to-low-quality evidence suggests that multiple spinal manipulation sessions may provide improved pain relief and an improvement in function when compared to certain medications. [13]
Doctors are calling it text neck. "Text neck is where people are hunched over looking at their electronic devices, hours at a Doctors warn that pain in the neck due to cell phone use is growing
A cervical collar, also known as a neck brace, is a medical device used to support and immobilize a person's neck. It is also applied by emergency personnel to those who have had traumatic head or neck injuries, [1] although they should not be routinely used in prehospital care. [2] [3] They can also be used to treat chronic medical conditions.
The primary function of a head restraint is to minimize the relative rearward movement of the head and neck during rear impact. During a rear-end collision, the presence of an effective head restraint behind the occupant's head can limit the differential movement of the head and torso.
As reliance on the neck brace diminishes, an isometric exercise regimen should be introduced. [medical citation needed] This is a preferred method of exercise during the sub-acute phase because it resists atrophy and is least likely to exacerbate the condition. Single plane resistance exercises against cervical flexion, extension, bending, and ...
The human musculoskeletal system (also known as the human locomotor system, and previously the activity system) is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move using their muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.
The vestibular system is composed of inner ear organs forming the "labyrinth": the semicircular canals, the otoliths, and the cochlea.The section below is an overview of the vestibular system, as it is crucial to the understanding of the righting reflex.
Motor function is supplied by the accessory nerve. [5] Sensation, including pain and the sense of joint position (proprioception), travel via the ventral rami of the third (C3) and fourth (C4) cervical spinal nerves. [5] Since it is a muscle of the upper limb, the trapezius is not innervated by dorsal rami, despite being placed superficially in ...
