Common "Neck Movement Reduction" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Neck Movement Reduction

Neck movements are reduced in conditions like sprained neck muscle, rarely after cervical surgeries, keeping the neck position unchanged for extended periods like driving, using mobile phones or computers, sewing, walking, cycling, etc. To increase the neck's range of motion, flexion, rotation, and extension exercises can be practiced regularly. This reduces pain, tightness and improves neck mobility.
