Head down time long back pain what's going on


Empowering you to live your best life.
Pain in the back of the head after a long time of lowering the head is generally caused by myofascitis. When the patient lowers the head, the muscles in the back neck will be pulled. Generally, the cervical spine has a physiological arc and bends forward in a C shape. The muscles in the back neck will remain relaxed when the patient raises the head normally. If the patient lowers the head for a long time, the physiological arc disappears, which will cause chronic strain in the muscles in the back neck. Then the muscles in the occipital part and the back neck are continuous with each other. When the muscles of the posterior neck are pulled, the muscles of the posterior occipital region will also be pulled, resulting in chronic inflammation and damage. At this time, pressing local areas may produce swelling pain and dull pain. Pain can be relieved in a short time after pressing or massage. Oral anti-inflammatory painkillers or muscle relaxants can also relieve pain, such as ibuprofen, compound clozoxazone, eperisone, etc.
