Neck discomfort affects over one-third of people of working age, making it one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders known to medical specialists. As you read this on your screen, you are undoubtedly feeling strained muscles in your neck and tense shoulders. Time spent in front of displays, or more specifically, the way we sit when interacting with screens, combined with poor posture, can overwork the muscles in the neck and shoulders, causing discomfort and stiffness.


“When it comes to pain, being proactive is the best solution for long-term relief,” says Gudrun Snyder, an East Asian acupuncturist. “This is the best solution to long term suffering.” “Movement, healthy eating habits, and including things like acupuncture, yoga, or other self care regimens into your daily routine make a huge difference.” It seems to reason that modifying our lifestyle choices can alleviate the stress caused by a sedentary existence. You may call it poetic justice. According to Theresa Marko, a physical therapist, stiff neck and shoulders can also be caused by weakness in other muscles of the body, such as the arms, when doing jobs requiring stability. “This weakness causes the neck muscles to activate to help stabilize the arms and shoulders,” the doctor explained.
Our specialists provide numerous methods for relieving tense and tight muscles in the neck and shoulders.
