Neck pain varies significantly in type, location, and severity. Understanding the nature of your specific neck pain is crucial for effective treatment and long-term relief.
Your neck contains seven cervical vertebrae (C1-C7) that support your head and allow for its wide range of motion. The cervical spine is more flexible than other parts of the spine, making it particularly vulnerable to injury and strain. Between each vertebra are discs that act as cushions, and nerves branch out to control movement and sensation in your shoulders, arms, and hands.
Our specialist team conducts thorough assessments to identify exactly which structures are causing your pain, whether it's muscles, ligaments, discs, joints, or nerves. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including physical examination, imaging studies, and functional movement analysis to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Cervical vertebrae and common pain areas
Our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of neck pain, each requiring a unique approach for optimal recovery.
The most common type, often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or degenerative changes in the spine. Usually worsens with movement and improves with rest.
Occurs when a nerve root in the cervical spine becomes compressed, causing pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates into the shoulder, arm, or hand.
Commonly caused by sudden impact, such as in car accidents. Results in soft tissue injury to the neck, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
Occurs when cervical discs degenerate or herniate, potentially pressing on nerves. Can cause neck pain, stiffness, and symptoms in the arms.
Age-related wear and tear affecting the cervical spine. Can cause neck pain, stiffness, and sometimes headaches. More common in people over 50.
Many neck pain conditions share similar symptoms, making self-diagnosis difficult. Our specialists use comprehensive assessment techniques to determine the exact cause of your pain and create an appropriate treatment plan.
