Neck Pain facts

Neck pain is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is estimated that up to 70% of people will experience neck pain at some point in their lives.

There are many possible causes of neck pain, including poor posture, injury, arthritis, and degenerative disc disease. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the neck.

Neck pain can significantly impact a person's quality of life, affecting their ability to perform daily tasks and even leading to depression and anxiety in some cases. It is important to seek treatment for neck pain to address the underlying cause and manage symptoms.

Treatment options for neck pain include physical therapy, chiropractic care, medication, and in some cases, surgery. Alternative treatments such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and regenerative medicine techniques like platelet-rich plasma therapy are also becoming increasingly popular for managing neck pain.

Common neck pain conditions

Cervical Strain

This is the most common cause of neck pain, often caused by poor posture, overuse or injury. It is characterized by muscle stiffness, tenderness, and pain in the neck and shoulders.

Cervical Disc Herniation

This condition occurs when the outer portion of the cervical disc (a cushion between the vertebrae) ruptures, allowing the inner disc material to protrude and irritate nearby nerves. Symptoms include pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the neck, shoulder, arm and hand.

Cervical Radiculopathy

This is a condition where the nerve roots in the neck are compressed or damaged, leading to pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the neck, shoulder, arm and hand.

Cervical Spinal Stenosis

This is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck, which can cause compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots. Symptoms include pain, numbness, tingling, weakness and difficulty walking.

Cervical Osteoarthritis

This is a degenerative condition that occurs when the cartilage in the joints of the neck wear down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and a limited range of motion.

Whiplash

This is a neck injury commonly associated with car accidents and other high-impact collisions. It occurs when the neck is suddenly jerked forward and then back, causing damage to the soft tissues in the neck. Symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, and headaches.
