Neck Pain Q&A
Your neck pain may stem from various underlying factors, including:
- Injuries: Neck trauma, such as whiplash from auto accidents, commonly causes acute neck pain. This type of injury often occurs when a rear-end collision abruptly jerks the head forward and back with significant force. Additionally, neck injuries can result from sports activities and falls. Overuse injuries, characterized by repeated movements over extended periods, may lead to irritation and inflammation, manifesting as neck pain.
- Spinal Abnormalities: Several spinal abnormalities can contribute to neck pain. These include scoliosis, which involves a sideways curvature of the spine, kyphosis, characterized by a rounded or humped upper back; and lordosis, an abnormal inward curvature in the lumbar (lower) spine.
- Tumors: Both cancerous and noncancerous growths in the neck and head region have the potential to cause pain and discomfort.
- Age-related Disorders: Neck pain is often associated with common age-related disorders such as osteoarthritis, herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease. Osteoarthritis affects the facet joints of the spine as protective cartilage erodes over time. Degenerative disc disease weakens spinal discs, making them more susceptible to bulging or herniation, which can lead to spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal becomes too narrow, compressing the nerves exiting the spinal cord and resulting in cervical radiculopathy (nerve compression in the neck vertebrae).
