Neck Pain

Neck pain is often caused by muscle strain, poor posture, cervical disc changes, nerve compression, or repetitive stress from daily activities. It can lead to stiffness, restricted motion, headaches, or discomfort radiating into the shoulders and upper back. Persistent neck pain may interfere with work, sleep, and overall quality of life, especially when inflammation or muscular imbalance worsens over time. Early evaluation helps prevent chronic issues and identify structural or mechanical contributors.

Following neck conditions can bring pain:
Herniated cervical disc, facet joints, neck muscles, torticollis, whiplash injury, cervical vertebral fracture, ankylosing spondylitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, cervicogenic headaches.

Causes of Neck Pain:

  • Damage to the neck joints
  • Compression or irritation of a nerve (pinched nerve)
  • Cervical Spondylosis
  • Muscle strain or dysfunction
  • Poor posture
  • Improper sleeping positions or habits
  • Sports-related injuries
  • Arthritis
  • Infections
  • Repetitive or continuous movements over time
Cervical Spondylosis is one of the most common cause of Neck Pain.

Symptoms of Cervical Spondylosis?

  • Neck pain that may spread to the base of the skull and the shoulders. Moving the neck can make the pain worse. At times, the pain may travel down the arm into the hand or fingers.
  • Neck stiffness may be present, especially after sleeping.
  • Headaches may occur occasionally, usually starting at the back of the head near the neck and spreading over the top of the head to the forehead.
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arm or hand may also occur. These symptoms should be reported to a doctor, as they may indicate a trapped or compressed nerve.
