Pain Radiating to the Neck

Description:

Pain radiating to the neck is commonly associated with spinal issues, such as a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease. This type of pain can also be caused by muscle strain, poor posture, or nerve compression. In some cases, it may be related to a heart attack or other serious conditions that require immediate medical attention.

Common Causes:

• Herniated disc or degenerative disc disease
• Muscle strain or poor posture
• Nerve compression (e.g., cervical radiculopathy)
• Heart attack (referred pain)

Treatment:

Treatment often involves physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and exercises to relieve muscle strain. In some cases, injections or surgery may be needed for spinal issues. Immediate medical attention is necessary if the pain is related to heart conditions.
