Cervical Pain
Cervical pain, also known as neck pain, is a common problem that can result from various issues, including muscle strain, poor posture, neck injuries like whiplash, nerve compression, diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, or conditions like cervical spondylosis or osteoarthritis.
The pain can be mild to severe and may be accompanied by stiffness, numbness, or tingling in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands. It can also lead to headaches or difficulty in moving your head.
Treatment for cervical pain can vary depending on the cause and severity of the pain. It can include rest, physical therapy, medication, use of a neck collar, and in some severe cases, surgery. If you’re experiencing cervical pain, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. The signs and symptoms of cervical pain can include:

1. Pain that’s often worsened by holding your head in one place for long periods, such as when driving or working at a computer.

1. Muscle strains: Overuse, such as too many hours hunched over your computer or smartphone, often triggers muscle strains. Even minor things, like reading in bed or gritting your teeth, can strain neck muscles.
2. Worn joints: Just like the other joints in your body, your neck joints tend to wear down with age. Osteoarthritis causes the cushions (cartilage) between your bones (vertebrae) to deteriorate. Your body then forms bone spurs that affect joint motion and cause pain.
3. Nerve compression: Herniated disks or bone spurs in the vertebrae of your neck can press on the nerves branching out from the spinal cord.
4. Injuries: Rear-end auto collisions often result in whiplash injury, which occurs when the head is jerked backward and then forward, straining the soft tissues of the neck.
5. Diseases: Certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis or cancer, can cause neck pain.
6. Poor posture: Poor posture when sitting, standing, and lifting can place unnecessary stress on your neck.
