Neck Pain & Cervical Disorders

Neck pain is a frequent complaint that can arise from muscle strain, poor posture, or more serious conditions like cervical spondylosis, disc problems, or nerve compression. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent chronic pain and neurological complications.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

• Muscle Strain: Poor posture, computer/mobile overuse, or sudden jerks.
• Cervical Spondylosis: Age-related degeneration of cervical spine bones and discs.
• Herniated Disc: Disc protrusion pressing on spinal nerves.
• Cervical Radiculopathy: Pinched nerve causing pain radiating to arms and shoulders.
• Whiplash Injury: Sudden jerk to the neck in accidents.
• Arthritis: Inflammation of neck joints.
• Infections or Tumors: Rare but possible causes of persistent pain.
