NECK PAIN
The neck is a unique part of the body, strong enough to support the weight of the head, but also delicate and susceptible to to pain. Irritation, inflammation, injury, infection, irritation of the cervical nerve roots, encroachment of the vertebral canal’s vascular supply, or invasion of the cord into the spinal canal can all be neck pain causes.
Arthritis can also contribute to neck pain, because it can cause disc thinning or disc degeneration, or even the deterioration of muscles and ligaments. In addition, the curvature of the neck can become atypical, becoming too straight or even reversing its curve, due to illness or injury. It is crucial for those who suffer from chronic neck pain to get an accurate diagnosis, in order to address the root issues behind the problem.
