Neck Pain Q & A
Why do I have neck pain?
You may have neck pain from any number of causes. Your neck is the most flexible part of the spine, giving you the ability to move your head in many directions. Unfortunately, the flexibility of your neck and the weight of your head makes it vulnerable to injuries and conditions that cause pain.
Many people have neck pain from poor posture. Keeping your head bent for hours strains the muscles that support the neck. Over time, the ongoing strain may affect the alignment of the neck, causing other problems such as:
- Bulging discs
- Herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease (DDD)
- Arthritis
- Spinal stenosis
Whiplash is also a common cause of neck pain. This acute injury occurs from a sudden back-and-forth head movement, overstretching the ligaments in the neck.
When should I get professional help for neck pain?
Most causes of neck pain resolve on their own with at-home care and better posture. But you should schedule a neck pain consultation at Revive Spine and Pain Center if your neck pain fails to improve within a few days or worsens.
The team also recommends professional pain management if your neck pain is severe or occurs following an acute injury.
The sports medicine and pain management specialists at Revive Spine and Pain Center take a patient-centered approach to care, listening intently to your story and concerns. They ask detailed questions about your pain and the activities that make it worse.
The team reviews your medical history and performs a physical exam. They may also run diagnostic tests to confirm or rule out the cause of your pain, such as X-rays, an MRI, or electrodiagnostic studies to look for nerve problems.
