Neck Injuries & Pain

Neck injuries are very serious and should be treated right away. Symptoms of neck injury (besides neck discomfort and pain) include:

• Headaches and pain at the base of the skull
• Dizziness
• Shoulder pain
• Upper back pain
• Spinal pain

Cervical spine pain isn’t only felt in the neck. In some cases, pain can be felt at the base of the skull, in the shoulder blade region and upper back. The different bones (vertebra) in your neck are referred to as levels – there are seven of them, shown in the figure below. These bones are connected by muscles, ligaments and spinal discs. Injury to the different levels can cause pain in different regions. Figure 2. The different colors show the area where pain will be felt from different cervical joint injuries. Abnormal neck curves can stretch and irritate the neck joints which may cause neck pain. Only spinal X-rays can show the AITPain Physician what the state of your neck curve is. Figure 3. Abnormal neck curves (which can be revealed in an X-ray) can stretch and irritate the neck joints which may cause neck pain. Below are normal neck curves viewed from the side. By studying the abnormal neck curve, we can determine where the neck pain originated.

Neck Pain Treatment for Cervicogenic Pain

Cervicogenic pain affects a large part of the population, and while it is most prevalent in those with abnormal postures and disc degeneration, cervical pain can affect anyone. Contrary to popular belief, on average, cervicogenic pain does not improve without treatment; once a person has experienced this type of pain, the odds are they will experience it again. Therefore, the cause of it should be determined and analyzed.
