Symptoms and Causes of Neck Pain

The cervical spine, or neck as it is more commonly called, is a complex network of nerves, muscles, bones, and soft tissue that connect the head to the body. Not only does it support the weight of the head, but it facilitates the easy movement of the head. Neck pain symptoms can include stiffness and soreness and even immobility. But because the neck is such a critical part of the human physiology, it also can have further ranging symptoms in other areas of the body. Neck pain may result in headaches, tingling in the arms, shoulder or back pain, numbness, and even lack of balance.

Causes of neck pain can also be far-reaching. Trauma, for example, like that of whiplash in an auto accident or a sports injury can result in neck pain. Neck pain is common in older Americans as degeneration in soft, cushioning material takes place and pinched nerves result. Illness, like arthritis, can be the cause of neck pain as can be lifestyle choices like over-use of electronics and poor posture or nutrition.
