Neck pain is the third most common chronic pain condition in the United States. It isn’t just a pain in the neck .It can have devastating effects on your daily life, work experience and over all physical well being.
Neck pain can occur at any age and can have many causes: muscle strain from exercise or sports, sleeping wrong and waking up with a “wry neck”, whip-lash injuries resulting from a car accident or neglected, untreated accidents or injuries earlier in life.
Neck pain is not infrequently also associated with headaches or migraines or symptoms in shoulders, arms and hands.
Minor neck problems often resolve in accouple of days with rest and stretches. Persisting or more severe pain should be treated, to not develop into chronic or more severe conditions.
The cervical spine (neck) consists of seven vertebrae with disks in between each segment. The cervical spine encases the brain stem and the cervical part of the spinal cord. Between each vertebral segment there are nerve roots that exit and supply and control the function of the face, neck and arms. The cervical spine is a very delicate structure that is surrounded by muscles to allow for mobility and support. Treatment of the cervical spine should only be done by experienced health care professionals.
