The Development of Chronic Neck Pain

Long term neck pain and disability is a difficult and perplexing problem, leading to high degrees of pain, suffering and loss of function in some patients. There are a serious of beliefs which may go with a higher risk of developing chronic pain after neck injury such as: the belief that the pain is due to a serious injury or tissue damage; resisting reassurance; equating hurt with harm and believing the pain will lead to disability; avoiding activities and movement due to the fear of damage; resting and remaining inactive whilst waiting for the pain to settle; expecting someone to cure the pain rather than taking on the responsibility oneself; withdrawing from social contact and becoming depressed.

These tendencies are referred to as .yellow flags. and predict to some extent the likelihood the person will suffer work loss and disability from their pain condition.
