Pain impacts all patients differently, but there’s no question that it causes distress and frustration in daily life. Neck pain is no different.

What Is Neck Pain?

Neck pain is pain caused by any dysfunction or injury to the muscles, tissues, bones or discs found in the neck. Abnormalities, injuries, and inflammation can result in neck pain and stiffness that is chronic and long-lasting without treatment.

What Are the Different Types of Neck Pain?

Neck pain comes in several forms. Some types of neck pain include:

Stiffness from swelling
Injury from slipped or misaligned discs
Soreness
Sharp sensations
Nerve pain

Common Causes of Neck Pain

There are several common causes of neck pain including:

Text neck
Whiplash
Auto accident injuries
Poor posture

How Can Patients Prevent Neck Pain?

Preventing neck pain isn’t always easy, but there are a few things patients can do to help themselves. Treatments for neck pain include ice and heat therapy, stretching and exercise. Rest may help some find pain relief, while others may benefit from over-the-counter pain medications in the short-term.

The problem is that all medication-related treatments do is treat symptoms, not the underlying cause of an injury. Patients need to make sure they adjust their postures, relax muscles and tendons and have a properly aligned spine to eliminate pain and dysfunction completely.
