Neck Pain Causes

Neck pain can be caused by several factors ranging from poor posture to serious medical conditions.

• Muscle strain due to poor neck posture
• Neck injury or trauma
• Heavy exercise performed with incorrect posture
• Osteoarthritis
• Herniated or slipped disc pressing on nerves
• Spinal disorders
• Degeneration of neck joints due to ageing
• Meningitis (inflammation of tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord)
• Heart attack

Neck Pain Diagnosis

After reviewing symptoms and medical history, the healthcare provider will perform a physical examination to evaluate muscle strength, tenderness, numbness and neck mobility.

The following diagnostic tests may also be recommended:

• X-Ray: Helps identify bone spurs or disc problems affecting nerves.
• CT Scan: Provides detailed images of neck structures and abnormalities.
• MRI: Shows detailed images of soft tissues, spinal discs and nerves.
• Electromyography (EMG): Detects nerve compression and evaluates muscle and nerve health.
• Blood Tests: Used to identify infections or inflammation that may cause neck pain.
