Neck Pain

Common sprains and strains are to blame in most instances of neck pain, and these conditions will generally resolve on their own without medical treatment. However, a variety of treatable spinal conditions can also be responsible for chronic neck pain. Examples include spinal arthritis, cervical fractures, cervical radiculopathy, cervical spondylosis, congenital torticollis, or a herniated disk. Any injury that causes severe and persistent neck pain and/or radiating pain down the arms or legs, numbness or tingling sensations, weakness in the limbs, or loss of bladder or bowel control should be immediately evaluated by a medical professional.
