There are several common causes of neck pain, including a car accident or a slip-and-fall. There are also less dramatic causes like sitting at a desk all day or waking up with a crick in your neck. No matter the event that started the pain, there are often underlying causes that set you up for persistent neck pain. The most common causes of neck pain include sprains and strains on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. For others,
there are changes to the disc (i.e., a specialized tissue that sits between vertebrae throughout our spine) is the source of the pain. Bulging and herniated discs are notoriously painful and common for people that experience nerve pain. The disc and cartilage degeneration can also lead to pain and difficulty moving the neck. Fortunately, our physical therapists are skilled at identifying the contributing factors and, more importantly, how to find relief. When neck pain develops due to a pinched nerve, the pain can quickly develop into tingling or numbness in the hands, arms, and fingers. For others, nerve pain radiates upward, resulting in severe headaches, and in some cases, even migraine-like headaches. If you’re experiencing chronic pain in your neck, know that there are safer options than surgery and medication that are available to you to combat your discomfort! The answer lies at our physical therapy clinic with our highly trained team.
