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.
