Description
What is a “Crick in the Neck”?
This is formally called “Facet Dysfunction”. In the neck the vertebrae (bones) interact with each other via multiple joints. One such joint type is a “Facet Joint”. When you have slept wrong, you typically have compressed and irritated one of these joints. This irritation manifests as stiffness that makes it difficult for you to turn your head.
Do I Need to See a Physician?
Generally, when in doubt, consult with your physician. For a “Crick in the Neck”, indicators that you should see your physician are:
- Your onset comes with more worrisome symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, or significant numbness/ tingling into the arm.
- Your onset was due to Motor Vehicle Accident, a fall, or other accident of some kind.
