Problems solved by technology

Traumatisms, muscular contractures and improper positions maintained for long periods, that overload the muscles and activate the nerves that produce pain, are the main causes for suffering discomfort at the cervical area.

Stress also increases muscle stiffness and makes flexibility difficult, being thus possible to suffer pain.

It causes local and deep pain at the neck, with muscular contracture and mobility restriction.

It may also cause vertigo or a sensation of instability.
