What is Neck Pain?
Neck pain is a sensation of discomfort or distress localized in the cervical region, encompassing the area from the base of the skull to the top of the shoulders. Individuals experiencing neck pain may perceive aching, stiffness, or soreness in the neck muscles, ligaments, or joints.
The discomfort from neck muscles pain or stiff neck can range from mild to severe and may be exacerbated by movements, poor posture, or prolonged periods of sitting. In some cases, neck pain may be accompanied by headaches, tingling, or numbness radiating into the shoulders or arms.
The causes of neck pain can vary, including muscle strain, ligament sprains, disc herniation, or underlying medical conditions. Therefore, a thorough evaluation is necessary for an accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
A few notable neck conditions:
Cervical Disc Herniation
The displacement of intervertebral discs in the neck, which can put pressure on spinal nerves and cause pain.
Cervical Spondylosis
Degenerative changes in the cervical spine, including the development of bone spurs and herniated discs, often associated with aging.
Whiplash Injury
Usually resulting from a sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement of the neck, such as in a car accident, leading to soft tissue damage and pain.
Cervical Radiculopathy
Compression or irritation of a nerve root in the cervical spine, causing pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates into the arms.
Muscle Strain
Overuse or injury to the muscles of the neck, often due to poor posture, repetitive movements, or sudden twisting.
Cervical Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck, potentially compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Facet Joint Dysfunction
Disruption or irritation of the small joints located between the vertebrae in the spine.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Trigger points or knots in the muscles and fascia of the neck, causing localized pain and discomfort.
Tension Headaches
Muscular tension in the neck and shoulders can contribute to headaches, which may cause neck pain.
Osteoarthritis
Degeneration of the joints in the neck, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
Our Successful Stories
Ms. Trina came to us suffering from severe neck pain. The pain is so severe that decreased her range of motions. In such a case, we apply cold therapy to reduce the inflammation , then a good muscle striping works well to relive the tension on her neck. After the cervical manipulation, she received a significant improvement just within 1 treatment session.
