INTRODUCTION
The cervical syndrome refers to a set of disorders
caused by the changes in the cervical spine and
01 the soft-tissue surrounding it, with pain as the
predominant symptom.

The factors contributing to this issue include the

02 modern lifestyle, prolonged sitting and
incorrect, fixed or constrained working postures.

In the 1-year study Fejer and et al.  women

03 reported more neck pain (NP) than men.

NP is a common symptom affecting the western

countries.
04 • Research in Canada  approximately 67% of
adults have experienced NP during their
lifetime.
• Survey of Takala and at el  estimated
lifetime prevalence of NP at 18% for women
and 16% for men.
INTRODUCTION
The most common causes of NP are the
05 degenerative changes within the cervical spine

Apart from the degenerative processes, NP can

result from a variety of causes, including trauma
06 (fractures, contusions, distortions and ligament
tears), inflammatory processes (rheumatoid and
infective), as well as metabolic changes, and
tumors.

NP disorders affect both physical and

07 psychological function and can have negative
impact on everyday life activities in terms of
limiting functional mobility

Many studies have confirmed the relation

04 between neck/arm pain and inadequate work-
related body posture
