It hurts when I twist my neck to the left

Neck problems are quite common in life. The neck is an important component of the cervical spine. The cervical vertebrae are easily affected by external forces and undergo symptom changes, causing pain to people's bodies. Examples of mechanical injuries to the neck are also quite common, often causing great trouble to people's lives. Let’s take a look at why it hurts when you twist your neck to the left. I hope you all understand.

It is the early stage of cervical spondylosis. This pain symptom may be caused by stiff neck. In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for acupuncture treatment, and the symptoms will be relieved quickly.

Considering the possibility that improper sleeping posture may cause stiff neck, it is recommended to go to a regular tertiary hospital in time for treatment and physical therapy such as massage. Pay attention to rest at ordinary times, avoid looking down at mobile phones and computers for long periods of time, use pillows at an appropriate height when sleeping, and keep warm to prevent cold.
