What Causes Shoulder and Neck Knots?

Shoulder and neck nodules are usually caused by prolonged desk work, incorrect sitting posture, inflammatory stimulation, and other reasons.

1. Prolonged Desk Work: If you spend a long time working at a desk, it is likely to cause local soft tissue damage and lead to excessive strain on the local tissue, keeping the nerves in a state of tension and fatigue for a long time, which can result in nodules.

2. Incorrect Sitting Posture: Incorrect sitting posture for an extended period generally affects the force-bearing points, increasing pressure on the shoulders and neck. Over time, this can damage the shoulder and neck tissues, leading to shoulder and neck nodules.

3. Inflammatory Stimulation: If there is inflammation in the shoulder and neck area, it is likely to lead to long-term inflammatory stimulation of the tissue, causing an inflammatory reaction in the tissue and resulting in shoulder and neck nodules.

Apart from the above reasons, it may also be caused by factors such as long-term weightlifting and a sedentary lifestyle. Regardless of the cause, it is important to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan. Improvement can first be attempted through local hot compresses and massages. If there is no relief, microwave ablation and traditional surgery can be considered for treatment.
