Neck Pain
Neck Pain Treatment
Neck pain typically originates in the cervical spine, which is comprised of seven vertebrae labeled C1 through C7. This area supports the weight of the head and facilitates movement. Neck pain can stem from various causes. This includes muscle strain, herniated discs, arthritis, and injuries like whiplash. Pain may be localized to the neck or radiate to the shoulders, arms, and hands, affecting daily activities and mobility.
​
Neck pain can arise from different structures within the cervical spine, such as vertebrae, intervertebral discs, facet joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment approach, which may involve imaging tests like MRI, CT scans, and X-rays, alongside diagnostic procedures such as discography.

When to Seek Medical Attention
It's crucial to seek medical attention promptly if you experience persistent neck pain lasting more than a few days. If it worsens over time or is accompanied by symptoms like radiating pain in the arms, numbness, tingling, or weakness. An immediate medical evaluation is necessary following any traumatic injury, such as a fall or accident involving your neck, to rule out serious conditions like fractures or spinal cord injuries.
​
Seeking timely medical care allows healthcare professionals to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of your neck pain and recommend appropriate treatment options. Early intervention not only helps alleviate symptoms but also prevents potential complications. This ensures you receive the necessary care to promote recovery and improve your overall neck health.
