Introduction

Neck Pain

Neck pain is more than just discomfort; it can interfere with your daily life, from simple movements to work productivity. While pain relievers offer temporary relief, physical therapy addresses the root cause, promoting long-term recovery.

At ProSehat Physiotherapy Clinic, we believe in a comprehensive approach that combines manual therapy, targeted exercises, and patient education to empower you in your healing journey.

Anatomy of the Neck

The neck, or cervical spine, is a complex structure made up of:

  • Seven Vertebrae (C1-C7): Supports the head and allows flexibility.
  • Muscles and Ligaments: Provides movement and stability.
  • Nerves: Eight cervical nerves control movement and sensation in your arms, shoulders, and hands.
  • Discs: Act as cushions between vertebrae, preventing friction.

Damage or strain to any of these components can lead to neck pain, stiffness, or radiating discomfort.

Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain may result from a combination of factors, including:

Muscle Strain

Poor posture, prolonged screen time, and sudden movements.

Nerve Compression

Herniated discs or bone spurs pinching the nerves.

Injuries

Whiplash or sudden trauma from accidents.

Arthritis

Osteoarthritis and degenerative changes in the neck joints.

Stress and Tension

Emotional stress can lead to muscle tightness.

Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis, or cancer can also cause neck pain. Identifying the cause is key to an effective treatment plan.

Diagnosis of Neck Pain

At ProSehat Physiotherapy Clinic, Dr. Pooja Singh will perform a thorough evaluation that includes:

  • Medical History Review: Understanding symptoms, duration, and potential triggers.
  • Physical Examination: Assessing neck mobility, posture, and muscle strength.
  • Special Tests: Conducting neurological tests like Spurling’s Test and Cervical Distraction Test to identify nerve compression.
  • Referral for Imaging: X-rays, MRI, or CT scans may be recommended for detailed insights.

Classification of Neck Pain

Based on your symptoms, neck pain may be categorized into the following types:

  • Neck Pain with Mobility Deficits: Limited neck motion, often due to joint or muscle stiffness.
  • Neck Pain with Movement Coordination Impairments: Common after trauma, leading to reduced strength and poor neck muscle coordination.
  • Neck Pain with Headaches (Cervicogenic Headaches): Pain that starts in the neck and radiates to the head.
  • Neck Pain with Radiating Pain (Radiculopathy): Pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates down the arm, caused by nerve compression.
