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.
