Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain can be caused by a variety of conditions, ranging from injuries to degenerative changes. It is generally classified as either:
Specific Neck Pain:
- Whiplash injuries (common after car accidents)
- Cervical disc prolapse (herniated disc)
- Cervical spondylosis or arthritis
- Medication side effects (e.g., steroids)
Non-Specific Neck Pain:
This is more common and often caused by muscle tension, poor posture, or lifestyle-related strain. Risk factors include:
- Sedentary work (e.g., office jobs with poor ergonomics)
- Manual labor (e.g., construction or caregiving roles)
- Stress, anxiety, and depression
- Pregnancy
- Obesity

Diagnostic Imaging for Neck Pain
To accurately diagnose complex cases, we may recommend imaging such as:
- X-rays
- CT Scans
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
Evidence-Based Approach to Whiplash
Modern guidelines recommend active treatment over immobilization. Neck braces are no longer routinely prescribed for whiplash. Instead, we focus on movement-based therapy and precise pain management.
