Symptoms & Common Causes
Symptoms can include neck stiffness, aching, pain with movement, headaches, shoulder or arm pain, tingling and numbness. Common causes include muscle strain, prolonged screen or desk posture, cervical spondylosis, disc problems and injury such as whiplash.
How We Diagnose the Problem
Assessment includes neck movement, muscle strength, sensation, reflexes and examination of the shoulders and upper limbs. X-rays or MRI may be recommended when symptoms persist, follow an injury or suggest nerve or spinal involvement.
Treatment Options
Treatment may include posture and activity correction, physiotherapy, strengthening, medicines when appropriate and targeted pain-management procedures. Surgery is considered only for selected structural or neurological conditions.
Recovery & When to Seek Help
Most uncomplicated neck pain improves with appropriate movement and rehabilitation. Seek urgent assessment for significant weakness, severe neurological symptoms, major trauma, fever with severe pain or rapidly worsening symptoms.
