Neck Pain

Neck pain is a very common complaint among patients and can be caused by multiple issues. Poor posture can lead to strain and imbalances of specific muscles in the neck and shoulder area. Arthritic changes in the joints of the spine and degeneration of the discs between the bones of the spine can cause local neck pain and stiffness as well as referred pain to the shoulders and arms. Arthritis and disc herniations can also cause pinching of nerves in the neck (radiculopathy), in which case patients may have neck pain radiating down the shoulder or the arms as well as numbness/tingling in a specific nerve distribution and weakness in the corresponding muscle groups of the arm.

If you have neck pain, your physician will check the neck range of motion, palpate the region to see where the tender spots are and perform additional maneuvers to try to determine where the pain is coming from. A full neurologic exam should be included to check for potential neurologic deficits such as weakness or numbness. Imaging such as Xray and MRI can be helpful to determine the etiology of the pain. If you have neurologic deficits such as numbness, tingling or weakness, your physician may also recommend a nerve test called an EMG to evaluate for nerves being pinched in the neck. Treatment includes anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, acupuncture, manual therapy and injections. Injections can include trigger points to the identified muscles or epidural injections. In some cases, surgery may be required.

Not to mention the several ligaments and tendons involved in normal motor function.These several components actually lead the hand and wrist quite vulnerable to injuries.Seemingly minor complications, such as compressed nerves or joint inflammation, can make simple tasks such as writing or holding a phone quite strenuous.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis found among older adults. The disease occurs when cartilage found at the end of the bones begin to deteriorate, resulting in joint stiffness and joint pain. Other symptoms include swelling around the joints and limited range of motion. Although the disease can occur anywhere in the body, it is most commonly found in joints around the hands, knees, and hips. As a result, ordinary activities such as climbing stairs or using a pencil become very frustrating and worsen as the disease progresses.

Spinal Stenosis Risk Factors

At Millennium Medical we see patients with spinal stenosis. Yesterday, I posted questions regarding risk factors for spinal stenosis.
Arthritis is the leading cause of spinal stenosis. It causes narrowing of the spinal canal with bone spurs and may pinch nerves.

What can you do to prevent spinal stenosis?

  • Exercise regularly and stretching to keep the spine and ligaments flexible.
  • Keep a healthy normal weight
  • Smoking and nicotine can have direct effects on the disc that lie between the spine bones called vertebrae.

If you have back symptoms take action ask your physician for a referral to physical therapy so you can get better and prevent further injury to your spine.
After all you have only one back and we got your back at Millennium Medical and Rehab 914 472-2700
