Neck Pain

Neck Pain

Neck pain most commonly occurs due to trauma. This trauma can develop suddenly, such as when the neck is jolted forward and backward in a car accident, or it can result from prolonged tension trauma caused by poor posture while using a computer or phone. Similarly, reading or studying with the head bent for long periods can also lead to neck and back pain. Neck pain can originate from the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, facet joints, ligaments, muscles, spinal cord, or nerve roots.

Common neck problems;

• Poor neck posture
• Strain of neck muscles and ligaments
• Cervical herniated discs
• Cervical osteoarthritis
• Cervical spinal canal stenosis
• Whiplash from trauma
