Neck pain is pain that is felt in the neck area, which is the part of the spine that runs from the base of the skull to the top of the shoulders. Neck pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, injuries, and underlying medical conditions. Neck pain can range from mild to severe, and can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term).

There are many potential causes of neck pain, including:

  1. Muscle strain or sprain: Straining or spraining the muscles or ligaments in the neck can cause pain. This can be caused by poor posture, lifting heavy objects, or engaging in high-impact activities such as running or jumping.
  2. Herniated disc: A herniated disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc bulges out through a crack in the outer layer of the disc. This can put pressure on the nerves in the spine, causing pain, numbness, and tingling.
  3. Degenerative disc disease: Degenerative disc disease is a condition in which the discs between the vertebrae in the spine begin to break down and lose their cushioning ability. This can cause pain and stiffness in the neck.
  4. Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that occurs when the cartilage in the joints wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
  5. Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the nerves in the spine and cause pain.

Our staff at Achieve Wellness Medical Center highly recommends receiving an official diagnosis, so proper treatment can be employed.

Treatment for neck pain will depend on the specific cause and severity of the pain. Some common treatment options include:

Physical therapy: Physical therapy involves exercises and other techniques to help improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the neck. Our physical therapists may also use techniques such as manual therapy and trigger point dry needling to help alleviate pain.

Injections: Injections, such as our Enriched Plasma Injections and Regenerative Treatments, can be employed to promote healing in specific areas of the body.

Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to address underlying conditions that are causing neck pain. Options may include spinal fusion, laminectomy, or spinal decompression.
