Neck pain is extremely common and can be debilitating. There are a lot of causes of neck pain and often presentations can be vague and multifactorial in nature. A comprehensive history of symptoms, including aggravating positions or movements and description of the quality and features of the pain is helpful in diagnosing the source of neck pain.
The most common sources of neck pain vary across age groups and other patient demographics such as gender, work-related tasks, and medical comorbidities. History of past trauma, such as a history of motor vehicle accident (even in the distant past) can indicate a possible whiplash syndrome which can present with pain years after the initial insult.
Common sources of neck pain include:
- Myofascial neck pain
- Whiplash syndrome
- Cervical facet joint arthritis
- Cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerves in the upper spine)
- Cervical spinal stenosis
- Headaches (stress/tension, migraine, hormonal, cluster)
- Trigger points in muscles in the neck, shoulder or thoracic (mid-back regions)
- Postural impairments
- Torticollis (wry neck), dystonia or spasticity (after stroke, spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury)
