Neck pain can manifest in various forms, and the type of pain an individual experiences can differ based on factors such as the location and underlying cause. Common forms of neck discomfort and pain include:
- Mechanical Neck Pain: Mechanical neck pain arises from abnormalities in the musculoskeletal structures of the neck, such as muscles, ligaments, and vertebrae.
- Cervical Radiculopathy: Cervical radiculopathy occurs due to irritation or compression of a spinal nerve root in the cervical region. It is characterized by sharp, shooting pain that may radiate from the neck into the shoulders, arms, and hands.
- Whiplash: Whiplash is a neck injury resulting from rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, often caused by car accidents or sudden impact.
- Neck Strain: Neck strain refers to discomfort that arises from overuse, strain, or injury to the neck muscles, leading to inflammation and soreness.
- Neck Sprain: Neck sprain is an injury to the ligaments of the neck, often caused by sudden twisting or impact.
Neck Pain Comes In Many Different Forms
Mechanical Neck Pain
This kind of neck pain is frequently brought on by issues with the neck's muscles, bones, or joints. It could be related to activities like bad posture, strenuous lifting, or protracted uncomfortable sitting.
Our chiropractic staff frequently use manual techniques to treat musculoskeletal problems and enhance function, including spine manipulation, massage, and mobilization. To strengthen and stretch the muscles that support the neck, and to address any problems that may be causing pain, rehabilitation exercises may also be recommended.
Cervical Radiculopathy
The cervical spinal nerves in the neck are irritated or compressed in cases of this form of neck discomfort. It's frequently characterized as a pain that shoots or radiates down the arms, starting in the neck.
To treat neck problems that could be aggravating or compressing the cervical spinal nerves, our medical team may employ spinal manipulation and other manual techniques. In order to relieve strain on the nerves and increase mobility, they could also suggest stretches and exercises.
Whiplash
