What is a Neck Injury?
A neck injury is a type of injury that occurs to the cervical spine, which is composed of seven vertebrae in the neck and upper back region. Neck injuries can range from minor sprains or strains to more serious conditions such as fractures or paralysis.
Many times, neck injuries are caused by trauma such as a car accident or a fall, but they can also be caused by repetitive motions or poor posture.
Symptoms of neck injuries can include pain, stiffness, and/or loss of range of motion. If you experience any of these symptoms after an injury, it is important to seek medical attention right away.
Diagnosis and Treatment for Neck Injuries
Your doctor will perform a physical exam to diagnose your neck injury. The exam may include looking at the range of motion in your neck, checking for tenderness or swelling, and asking you questions about your pain. Depending on the severity of the injury, further tests such as an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan may be ordered.
The treatment for neck injuries varies, depending on the severity of the injury. For minor sprains or strains, rest and over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen may be enough to relieve symptoms. Severe injuries may require physical therapy and/or surgery in order to reduce pain and improve range of motion.

Common Types of Neck Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can be minor or major, depending on the severity of the damage. This type of injury can cause long-term paralysis and disability.
Whiplash is a common neck injury that occurs when the head is whipped back and forth with great force. It commonly occurs in car accidents but can also occur in slip-and-fall accidents or sports accidents.
Herniated discs occur when the spine is damaged due to an injury, and the disc material protrudes out of position. This type of injury can cause grievous pain that, in some cases, requires surgery to repair.
Neck fractures are serious injuries that can occur when the neck is twisted or bent in an unnatural way. It can often cause long-term complications and mobility issues.
A cervical dislocation is a serious injury that occurs when the neck bones are moved out of position. It can cause paralysis and other long-term damage.
Neck sprains are common injuries that occur when the ligaments in the neck are stretched or torn. Sprains can be very painful and require medical attention.
Muscle strains can occur when the muscles in the neck are overused or pulled too far. They can be extremely painful and require medical attention.
Spinal fractures are serious injuries that occur when the vertebrae of the spine become fractured. This type of injury can cause paralysis and other long-term damage.
Cervical disc injuries occur when the discs between the vertebrae become damaged or degenerate. This can cause severe pain and mobility issues that require medical attention.
