Neck pain is a common issue for both men and women. In most cases, acute (short-term) neck pain directly results from cervical spine pressure, nerve irritation, or nerve inflammation. 

The exact trigger of the pressure, irritation, or inflammation could be any of the following:

  • Sports injury
  • Poor posture
  • Car accidents
  • Repetitive neck movements
  • Sleeping with your neck in a bad position

If your neck pain continues for more than three months, it’s considered chronic. The most common reasons for chronic neck pain are:

  • Herniated disc
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Myelopathy

Whether your neck pain started a few days ago or it’s been lingering for years, you deserve relief. Elite Sports Medicine and Orthopedics offers a variety of solutions for long-term neck pain relief.
