Neck pain is a common condition that affects many individuals in the Colorado Springs area. Sometimes the cause is known, like a trauma (such as a car accident), and sometimes the symptoms progress over time.
Neck pain is a condition that can be ongoing or short lived. Many patients seek neck pain when the pain is severe or there are other associated symptoms with the neck pain, like headaches or numbness or tingling in the arms or hands. Neck pain may be multi-faceted due to the complex nature of the neck (or cervical) region. Pain and stiffness may occur from muscular and ligamentous injury, or more serious causes like boney pathologies or intervertebral disc injuries.
