Neck: also known as the cervical spine, is comprised of the seven vertebrae at the top of the spinal column. Tension and muscular soreness are extremely common in people who have stressful jobs, work long hours, or spend excessive time driving or working on a computer. Tension in the neck is a very common cause of headaches known as "cervicogeneic" headaches.—Dr. Hall

The neck is home to the cervical region and the spinal bones in your neck are cushioned by soft tissue called intervertebral discs. Injury or stress can cause damage to the bones and discs in the neck, causing pain, discomfort, numbness and/or tingling sensations. The neck also has many muscles and connective tissues. Injury, stretching, spasm, or strain can cause pain and discomfort in these areas and in other areas like the arms and back.

It takes expert medical care and attention to diagnose the cause of neck pain. Spine and Sports Medicine offers cutting edge technology and the finest physicians, chiropractor, neurologist and physical therapists in New York City.

If you experience pain in the neck or shoulders, numbness or tingling in the arms, or weakness of the arms or hands, you should contact Spine and Sports Medicine. Sudden injury from sports or accidents, herniated discs, blood vessel damage and pressure on the spinal cord are conditions that require medical attention. Less serious causes like stress, poor posture, natural aging, and too much exercise can also produce neck pain. Spine and Sports Medicine in midtown Manhattan can help.
