Neck Pain

The Structure of the Cervical Spine

The neck has seven vertebrae that are stacked on top of one another. They surround the spinal canal and spinal cord. In between each vertebra are cartilaginous discs with a jelly-like substance in each of them. That substance is known as the nucleus pulposus. These discs act as cushions when we walk, run, bend, or turn our heads. Nearby are sets of nerves on each side of the neck. There are also cervical spine ligaments, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and tissues. The cervical spine is a highly complicated structure. When any one of these parts becomes injured, it can cause severe pain.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Many different factors can lead to neck pain. Some common causes include being hunched over a computer screen, tablet, or phone for too long, or having poor posture. Whiplash from auto accidents can damage the ligaments and muscles in the neck. Other causes are sports injuries, sleeping incorrectly, and osteoarthritis from the aging process. 

Neck Pain Symptoms

An injury or condition of the neck might not be limited to simple neck pain. Here are some of the other symptoms:

  • Pain when turning the head or neck
  • Headaches or even facial pain from affected muscles and nerves
  • Pain from the neck running across to a shoulder, even down an arm, into a hand and its fingers
  • Tingling in an arm
  • Arm and hand weakness and the inability to grasp objects
