Fascia is the sheath of muscle that covers it and connects it to other organs and tissues. The neck is a complex area of the body, which consists of many muscle groups and ligaments of different sizes and structures. One of these structures, the fascia, is large and covers the deep muscles of the neck, such as the thyroid gland, larynx, pharynx, esophagus and trachea. This fascia is called the deep fascia of the neck.
The deep fascia is one of the layers of connective tissue in the neck and consists of several thin layers and fibrous fibers. It is attached to the cervical vertebrae and arcuate muscles of the neck. Functionally, the deep fascia serves to protect, support, and protect the deep structures of the neck from injury. Its structure and shape may change due to certain diseases or injuries, for example, sprains or damage to the cervical ligaments.
Symptoms of deep fascia injury or disease may include aching pain in the back of the neck, painful or difficult lifting of the head, or pain anywhere between the shoulder blades. These symptoms may occur along with a feeling of tension, stiffness, and weakness in the back of the neck. It is possible that several symptoms can be combined or differentiated, depending on which structure is damaged. If the patient experiences symptoms, it is necessary to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment if necessary.
Treatment options for deep neck fascia injury/disease include rest, wearing a brace and antimicrobial cream, and in some cases surgery may be required. But if symptoms do not improve or worsen, you should consult a doctor. Some surgical approaches involve removing damaged tissue that is the source of pain.
It is important to note that surgery is only one treatment option and is not necessary. Sometimes the patient can simply rest and recover to relieve muscle tension. It is also important to remember that health depends on proper nutrition and lifestyle habits, so make sure you eat right, exercise regularly and avoid unnecessary exercise.
