What Are The Types Of Neck Pain?

There are several different types of neck pain, each with its own set of symptoms and causes.

Here are some of the most common types of neck pain…

• Muscle Strain – This is the most common type of neck pain and is typically caused by overuse, poor posture, or injury to the muscles and tendons in the neck.
• Cervical Radiculopathy – This type of neck pain is caused by compression or irritation of a nerve in the neck, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, shoulder, arm, or hand.
• Whiplash – This type of neck pain is typically caused by a sudden force or impact, such as a car accident, and can result in symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, and headache.
• Cervical Osteoarthritis – This is a degenerative condition that occurs when the cartilage in the neck joints breaks down, leading to symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion.
• Herniated Disc – This occurs when the soft tissue inside a spinal disc bulges out, putting pressure on a nerve and causing symptoms such as neck pain, numbness, and tingling.
• Cervical Spinal Stenosis – This is a condition in which the spinal canal in the neck narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and leading to symptoms such as neck pain, weakness, and difficulty walking.

Consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your neck pain and receive appropriate treatment.
