Neck Pain Q & A

What are some common causes of neck pain?

You may not give much thought to this relatively small area of your body, but your neck is a complex structure of bones, joints, connective tissues, muscles, nerves, organs, and blood vessels. 

When something goes wrong in any of these components, pain is the likely outcome. Some of the common causes of neck pain include:

  • Traumatic injury
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Meningitis
  • Pinched nerve
  • Herniated disc
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Cervical spondylosis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Repetitive stress injuries

Even something as simple as poor posture or too many hours hunched over a computer keyboard can lead to serious neck pain. 

How can I prevent neck pain?

The best way to prevent neck pain is to reach and maintain optimal health. When your body is functioning at a high level it can react to minor injuries effectively.

Avoid participating in activities for which your body is not properly conditioned. It takes time to build the strength and endurance needed for certain fitness or recreational pursuits. When beginning a new sport or activity, take time to find the right protective gear. 

Many types of neck pain can be avoided by improving your posture and adjusting your sleep position. If you spend a significant amount of time sitting or looking at screens, take periodic breaks and perform simple neck stretches to avoid injury or strain. 

It isn’t possible to avoid all types of neck pain. If you experience pain that is severe or lasts longer than a few days, come in for a diagnostic exam right away. 

What are some treatment options for neck pain?

In some cases, a period of rest and self-care is enough to give your body a chance to heal after a minor neck strain or injury. Physical therapy can also help and has the added benefit of strengthening the muscles that support your neck. 

Medications can play a role in controlling pain and reducing inflammation. Injectable treatments like corticosteroid shots, BotoxⓇ, facet joint injections, and trigger point injections can be effective.  

The team at Spine & Sports Medical Group also offers the latest spinal treatment options. Facet rhizotomy is a great example — it uses a carefully controlled electrical current delivered via injection to sever nerves that transmit pain signals to your brain.   

Cervical laminoplasty is a surgical technique that creates space in the bone surrounding your spinal cord to relieve compression and enhance the flow of spinal fluid. This is one of many surgical solutions available to address neck pain.
