Cervical & Neck Pain

Physical Therapy for Cervical and Neck Pain

The cervical and neck are certain areas of the body that can cause significant pain and headaches. Breaking down the layout, your neck and your back are composed of small bones called vertebrae. They are stacked up on top of each other, which forms your spinal column. That spinal column then supports your head while protecting your spinal cord. Now, the top seven bones in your spinal column are what form your neck, and that is what is called the cervical vertebrae. It has small joints in between each vertebra along with muscles that give you the ability to move your head around in any direction. Now, when something is off in this area, it can cause major discomfort, and that is where we come in.

What We Can Do To Help You

Common causes of middle back pain include:

• Injury of your muscles, ligaments, or discs that make up your thoracic spine

• A vertebrae fracture

• Osteoarthritis (the wearing down of cartilage which cushions your joints in your spine; and

• Connective tissue issues due to overuse or muscle deconditioning.

• Poor posture

Causes of Cervical and Neck Pain

Believe it or not, neck pain is so common that every single one of us will have it at some point in our lives. In general, the reason is due to holding your neck in the same position for too long, but there are other reasons that can cause it. • Stress and worry
• Awkward sleeping
• Injury, such as whiplash
• A neck strain or sprain
• A cervical spondylosis flare-up (aging discs in your spine)

Symptoms • Pain in the middle, or on either side of your neck – may even extend to your shoulders and upper chest
• Severe tension headaches
• Pain when moving your neck
• Your neck is stiff and tight, as if you have been sleeping in the same position all night
• Your neck is limited in how far it can turn
