Neck

Neck pain can transform into extreme conditions, ranging from an irritating ache to an inflaming nerve pain that may spread down to the shoulder and arm. Also, there might be a wide difference between how the pain started and how long it will last. So, to decide on the right treatment, it is important to understand some common types of neck pains and their related treatments.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a condition that happens when nerves or blood vessels in the space between your collarbone and thoracic outlet are compressed. It can cause numbness in the fingers and pain in the shoulder and neck. Persistent injuries from sports or job-related activities, physical injury from car accidents or having an extra rib are some of the common causes of Thoracic Outlet Down Syndrome.

Treatment for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome generally includes physical exercises and medication. Usually, individuals get healed from this treatment. However, in some extreme cases, surgery might be suggested.

 

Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical Spondylosis is a common term used for age-related wear and tear of the spinal disk in the neck. It is a very common condition and worsens with age.

Cervicogenic Headache

Carcinogenic headache is a pain that starts in the neck. It is a common and periodic headache accompanied by a reduced motion in the neck. Tumours, fractures, infections and arthritis are some of the common causes of this condition.

Treatment of carcinogenic headaches includes home remedies and sometimes a combination of non-surgical as well as surgical treatment.

 

Cervical Sprain

A painful condition that causes the stretching of muscles or ligaments in the neck is called Cervical pain. Also known as a Whiplash injury. Usually, there is no reason behind this condition but sometimes it is caused due to sudden uncertain neck movement. Head jerking while performing some activities or being hit near the neck are the most common causes of the cervical sprain. 

Applying ice, medications and physical therapy like proper treatment will heal the cervical sprain within four to six weeks. However, an extreme cervical sprain might take three months to recover fully.

An injury caused to the rubbery disk that lies between your bone and stack to make the spine is called a cervical herniated disc or ruptured disc. It can happen in any part of the spine, but it usually occurs in the lower back. Symptoms include numbness or weakness in an arm or leg.
