All about shoulder, neck and back problems
Here is everything you may need to know about the causes and treatment of shoulder, neck and back issues.
Shoulder, neck and back problems can affect your quality of life and hinder your everyday routine. A variety of reasons ranging from common to complex can cause these problems. Pain in the shoulder joint can also extend to your neck and back and vice-versa. Sometimes, a single cause can lead to severe pain, stiffness and restricted range of movement in the shoulder, neck and back. It is, thus, important to timely seek medical treatment for any bothersome symptoms.
Shoulder, neck and back problems can be acute or chronic but require the earliest clinical intervention to avoid any complications.
