Neck Conditions and Injuries
Slipped disc
The intervertebral discs acts as shock absorbers, interposed between two vertebrae.
Trapezius muscle contraction
The trapezius muscle is an important muscle of the neck. The causes that determine its contraction are various but the most frequent are traumatic, associated to the whiplash, or postural.
Cervical vertebrae fracture
There are several different kinds of vertebral fractures relating to the neck area.
Cervical Arthritis
Neck pain, commonly referred to as cervical arthritis, is a very common disorder with many different causes.
Whiplash
This is the most common injury to the cervical spine, caused by a sudden movement of the cervical spine in hyperflexion or hyperextention.
Stiff neck
This is a common problem and generally nothing to worry about. It is usually secondary to muscular contractions in the cervical and shoulder girdle area.
