How To Prevent Shoulder & Neck Syndrome?

If the aforementioned symptoms are not noticed, and the disease enters the middle stage, symptoms such as spasm of neck and shoulder muscles, neck stiffness, numbness and pain in both upper extremities will appear. At this time, the cervical spine has undergone degenerative changes, but it is still in the reversible stage. Serious treatment can avoid the progression of degenerative lesions, and even tissue lesions can be recovered.
