Pain in the neck - the lot of women

A new study has found out an interesting fact about the pain in the neck. It turns out that neck pain is more characteristic of women than men.

Moreover, this is regardless of what kind of activities carried out by women. Anna Grimbi-Ekman from the Academy of the Department of Health (Sweden) recalled that physical work with heavy lifting often causes the development of pain in the neck . But ladies engaged in intellectual work, sometimes suffer no less.

The study, organized by the Swedish scientists, was aimed at identifying other factors that cause this problem. The study involved 627 women and 573 men. As a result, it was found out that women are much more likely to suffer from pain in the back and neck. On the physical discomfort complained as the representatives of professions related to physical labor, and student and academic collaborators.

Scientists suggest that the important factor here is stress . Women are more emotional, more experienced setbacks in their professional activities. Stress, in turn manifests itself in the form of severe pain. Thus, to eliminate neck pain you need to think about the nervous system.
