What is Neck Pain?
Understanding cervical spine conditions from a neurological perspective - comprehensive information about neck pain causes and mechanisms
🦴Understanding Neck Pain
Neck pain, also known as cervical pain, is a common neurological complaint affecting the cervical spine (C1-C7 vertebrae). It can result from various conditions including muscle strain, cervical spondylosis, disc herniation, nerve compression, and spinal stenosis.
At Singheswar Hospital, we approach neck pain from a comprehensive neurological perspective, identifying underlying structural and neurological causes to provide targeted treatment for optimal pain relief and functional restoration.
📊Types of Neck Pain
- Cervical Spondylosis: Age-related wear and tear of cervical discs
- Disc Herniation: Bulging or ruptured cervical discs
- Muscle Strain: Overuse or injury to neck muscles
- Cervical Radiculopathy: Nerve root compression
- Whiplash: Sudden neck movement injury
- Cervical Stenosis: Narrowing of spinal canal
