What is cervical face syndrome?

Cervical spine syndrome is a complex disorder that affects the neck and face area.

Although not widely known, it can have a major impact on the daily lives of sufferers.

This syndrome is generally characterized by intense, chronic pain in the cervical region, but can also lead to problems with chewing, swallowing and speech.

People with Cervical Spine Syndrome may find it difficult to sleep, concentrate and perform everyday tasks.

Treating this syndrome can be difficult, but there are options that can help relieve pain and improve patients' quality of life.

The symptoms

Cervical face syndrome is a disorder that can cause a variety of symptoms in the neck and face area.

Common symptoms include intense, chronic pain in the cervical regionfrequent headaches, jaw pain, eye and ear pain, dizziness and balance problems.

Sufferers may also have difficulty eating and speaking, as well as sleep, concentration and memory problems.

Symptoms may vary depending on the underlying cause of Cervical Spine Syndrome, but it is important to consult a healthcare professional if you suffer from persistent neck pain and face.

Causes of the cervical side

Cervical face syndrome can be caused by a variety of factors. Among the most common causes are temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, injuries, infections, tumors and disorders of the spinal column cervical.

TMJ disorders, which affect the jaw, are considered one of the main causes of Cervical Spine Syndrome.

Injuries, such as car accidents or falls, can also cause damage to the spine, cervical vertebrae or other parts of the body, resulting in pain in the neck and face area.

Infections can also cause inflammation and pain in this area, while tumors can compress nerves and blood vessels, leading to pain and impaired function.

Finally, disorders of the cervical spine, such as herniated discs, can also cause neck pain that spreads to the facial region.

Possible treatments

Treatment of cervical face syndrome depends on the underlying cause.

Treatment options may include medication to relieve pain and inflammation, physical therapies such as physiotherapy or acupuncture, and in some cases, surgery.

Chiropractic can also be beneficial for sufferers of this syndrome, as it can help restore mobility to the cervical spine and relieve pain.

Chiropractic techniques can include gentle spinal manipulation and strengthening exercises to help prevent recurring pain.

However, it is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional before undertaking any treatment for cervical face syndrome to determine the best approach for your individual situation.

Why intervene?

As we've seen, cervical face syndrome, also known as cervical myofascial pain syndrome, is a common condition that can affect the muscles and soft tissues of the cervical region.

It is often characterized by pain, stiffness and discomfort in the neck, jaw and face, as well as headaches and pain in the shoulders and arms.

It's important to intervene quickly in the event of cervical face syndrome, as the pain can have a negative impact on your quality of life and emotional well-being.

If left untreated, pain can also worsen, causing further complications such as sleep disturbances, posture problems, difficulty eating and drinking, and reduced mobility.

Complications of Cervical Spine Syndrome can also have an impact on your mental and emotional health, leaving you tired, depressed and anxious.

People suffering from this syndrome may also be more prone to absenteeism from work or school, which can affect their professional and social lives.

In conclusion, it's crucial to take care of your health by consulting a healthcare professional at the first sign of Cervical Spine Syndrome.

Prompt, effective treatment can help reduce pain and prevent further complications, allowing you to return to a normal quality of life.

Here's a brief testimonial:

 

Hello,

My name is Jean Verdon, I am 55 years old. I was a fireman for 30 years and I worked in construction. I developed problems with back pain a little bit all my life, but they were not very severe.

Nevertheless, from the age of 45 onwards (now 10 years old), I experienced recurrent back pain. In fact, it happens about once a year.

These problems prevented me from functioning well at work and in everyday life. These blockages became more and more severe over time. I had to have injections of cortisone which helped me at the beginning, but as time went by these treatments were no longer effective.

I found myself without a solution. That's when I learned from the doctor of chiropractic, François Poirier, that there was a possibility of resolving the situation with the decompression machine. I also have two herniated discs.

After five (5) treatments, I have already felt a huge difference. I have been able to start functioning more normally again. I know there is still a long way to go, but I have a lot of confidence in the program.

For the moment, it relieves me a lot and I hope that it will be the solution to my problem.

I was even at the point of taking a appointment with a neurosurgeon. I am waiting, without even knowing if the operation is possible...

I thank Doctor of Chiropractic François Poirier very much, because it makes a big difference in my life.
