Pain in the Cervical Spine

Description:

Pain in the cervical spine can be caused by various conditions affecting the neck region, including muscle strain, nerve compression, or degenerative disc disease. This pain often radiates to the shoulders, arms, or head.

Common Causes:

• Cervical disc herniation
• Cervical spondylosis (degenerative changes in the spine)
• Nerve compression (cervical radiculopathy)
• Whiplash injury
• Muscle tension or strain

Treatment Methods:

Treatment may involve pain relief medication, physical therapy, exercises to strengthen the neck muscles, and in some cases, surgery or injections to treat nerve compression.
