Causes of Neck Pain

Muscle Strains:

• Improper posture
• Uncomfortable sleeping positions
• Whiplash from accidents or exercise

Degenerative Joints:

• Osteoarthritis of the neck
• Cartilage deterioration causing discomfort and restricted motion

Nerve Compression:

• Herniated cervical disc adding pressure on nerves or spinal cord

Diseases:

• Cancer, meningitis, rheumatoid arthritis
• Osteoporosis weakening bones and causing small fractures

Injuries:

• Motor vehicle accidents, falls, heavy lifting
• Sports activities like football, gymnastics, hockey

Understanding the Pain

Ligaments: Injury to ligaments affects joint stability, leading to abnormal loads on cartilage.

Muscles: Weakness or loss of muscle response can cause abnormal motion and excessive loads on cartilage.

Nerves: Diminished proprioceptive input with aging and osteoarthritis may contribute to joint instability.

Bone: Abnormal bone stiffness in joints with osteoarthritis can lead to cartilage thinning.

Treatment Approaches

Pharmacological Approach:

• Medications like analgesics, NSAIDs, and steroids may be considered, especially for night pain or exercise-related discomfort.

Non-Pharmacologic Approach:

• Focus on treating the underlying mechanical abnormality through movement strategies.
• Exercise to improve mobility, strength, and muscular control.
• Manual therapy to enhance joint motion.
• Task-oriented assessments to modify movement mechanics.
