Neck Pain — Causes, Diagnosis & Treatment
Neck pain is a common condition that can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. It often improves with conservative treatment.
Neck pain can result from muscle tension, poor posture, trauma, or degenerative conditions affecting the cervical spine. It may be accompanied by headaches, shoulder pain, or arm symptoms.
Most neck pain episodes resolve within weeks with conservative care. However, persistent or severe symptoms require evaluation.
Dr. Kshiteez Puri provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for neck pain and related conditions.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Muscle strain: Poor posture, prolonged screen time, sleeping in awkward positions.
Cervical spondylosis: Age-related wear and tear of the cervical spine causing disc degeneration and osteophyte formation.
Cervical disc herniation: Disc material pressing on nerve roots causing arm pain, numbness, or weakness.
