What causes neck pain?

Neck pain is quite common, often because of improper sleeping positions or poor posture. Because neck pain is often associated with radiating arm pain and shoulder discomfort, it can negatively impact your quality of life and make it challenging to perform daily tasks. 

Some of the most common causes of neck pain include:

• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Cervical disc herniation
• Cervical spondylosis
• Spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Fibromyalgia
• Tension headaches

Trauma is another cause of neck pain. For example, if you get into a car accident, or slip and fall, you could suffer from a whiplash injury. Whether neck pain is an occasional nuisance, or it seems to bother you consistently, it’s crucial to get to the root of the issue before the condition worsens.

When should I see a doctor for neck pain?

Ideally, you would schedule an appointment when you first notice discomfort. Seek treatment immediately if neck pain is:

• Continuing to worsen
• Accompanied by headaches
• Not improving after several days
• Associated with shooting pains down arms
• Keeping you away from work or daily activities

Utilizing integrative approaches to neck pain and treatment, your Atlantic Spine and Joint Pain Center LLC provider can help you get relief right away.
