WHAT IS NECK PAIN?

The Neck or cervical incorporates the first 7 bones (vertebrae) of the spine, nervous system of the arms and upper back controlling the muscles, vessels and sensory.

 

This important structure of the human body providing the support and mobility of the skull. It can become painful in particular when the atlas bone, the first cervical vertebrae called C1 is misaligned.

CAUSES

Neck pain or cervical nociception can be caused by many reasons, among the most common are:
  • Atlas Bone misalignment
  • Muscle strain, ligament sprain
  • Poor posture (sleeping, sitting, standing, etc.)
  • Awkward sleeping positi
  • Improper office sitting and ergonomics
  • Bad standing posture
  • Improper motion stress during exercise or other daily activities
  • Trauma (falls, vehicle accident, sport)

INJURY

The neck is susceptible to injuries especially in sport, car accidents and falls where ligaments and muscles and their tendons of the neck are forced to move outside their normal range.

 

In some more severe cases the neck bones can also get fractured causing a serious threat to the health of your spinal cord.

HEART ATTACK

Not many people link neck pain with heart attack, but it’s one of the common symptoms. You may also experience:
  • A jaw or arm pain
  • Vomiting
  • Nausea
  • Sweating
  • Shortness of breath

MENINGITIS

The soft tissue surrounding the spinal cord and brain can get inflamed from bacterial or viral infection, this condition is called meningitis. People who suffer from meningitis can have headaches and fever along with neck stiffness.

 

Other less common causes

  • Rheumatoid arthritis: it causes swelling and pain of the joints, as well as bone spurs. However, when rheumatoid arthritis occurs around the neck area, it will cause pain and stiffness.
  • Osteoporosis: this condition affects the bones and makes them porous, which can lead to small fractures. While this condition mostly affects the knees and hand, it can occur in the neck.
  • Fibromyalgia: it causes muscle pain throughout your body, mostly in the shoulder and neck region.
  • Age: as you get older, the cervical discs can degenerate. This condition is also known as osteoarthritis of the neck or spondylosis.
