Most Common Neck Conditions:
- Cervicalgia is a pain or discomfort in the neck. The common cause is poor posture due to constant strain in the muscles, such as a bad sleeping position. Injury to the neck also leads to neck symptoms.
- Cervical spondylosis is a condition causing neck pain due to the degeneration of the cervical spine. It may be due to wear and tear or injury. As a result, the disc loses its fluid and affects the joints and nerves in the spine.
- Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the neck is compressed. It often starts when a disc in the spine goes out of place and begins touching a nerve. The squeezed nerve leads to pain that radiates to the arm or scapular area. We call this a pinched nerve.
- Neck myofascial pain is a painful condition due to tight fascia and muscles. The fascia is a tissue that covers the muscles and provides support.
