The neck, or cervical spine, is a complex structure that has a profound impact on your health and vitality. The neck is comprised of seven vertebrae that support the weight of the head, along with numerous muscles, nerves and arteries. Because many delicate structures are located in one small area, neck pain can stem from a number of origins. Proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations are essential for proper neck pain relief. Appropriate medical care can also prevent injuries from resurfacing in the future. Some common sources of neck pain are poor posture, old injuries, or traumatic events like auto accidents or falls. Furthermore, Herniated or Swollen Discs and Spinal Stenosis can be associated with neck pain. These problems can lie dormant for years before becoming noticeable irritations like soreness, stiffness, numbness and impaired function in the surrounding areas of your shoulders and mid back, or in your arms and hands.
