In todays stressful life, neck and shoulder pain
has almost become an integral part of our life.
Neck and shoulders contain muscles, arteries and
veins, bones, nerves and many kinds of ligaments.
Some pains are life threatening, whereas others
are not serious.

• The most common cause of neck and shoulder pain
  is injury to the soft tissues within these
  structures. Abnormal conditions involving the
  spinal cord, heart and lungs can cause pain to
  these areas.
•  
• Broken collarbone can also result in pain. In
  case of heart attack, though the main affected
  organ is the heart, pain can occur in the neck
  and the shoulder, known as referred pain.

• Remedial massage is the systematic assessment of
  the condition of the tendons, muscles, ligaments
  and the connecting tissues and their treatment.
  It is done to allow the body to return to its
  normal condition, after an injury.
• A remedial therapist possesses knowledge about
  anatomy, pathophysiology as well as physiology.
  This is for knowing, where exactly the treatment
  will be needed. Before a remedial treatment is
  started, judging the condition of the patient is
  absolutely necessary.

• Remedial massage is also useful for stiff neck,
  which is characterized by soreness and a great
  difficulty in moving the neck. Headache, neck
  pain, shoulder pain and/or arm pain are some
  other symptoms associated with it.
•  
• Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a general term
  which is used to describe the continuous pain
  felt in the muscles due to repetitive usage. For
  trapped nerve in neck, chiropractors are greatly
  useful.
