Cervical Pain Recovery
Neck pain and stiffness that can radiate to the shoulders and arms, often caused by strain or cervical spondylosis.
Condition Overview
Cervical pain (neck pain) can result from anomalies in the soft tissues—muscles, ligaments, and nerves—as well as the bones and disks of the cervical spine. In modern times, "tech neck" from looking down at screens is a leading cause.
Why It Happens
Your neck is flexible and supports the weight of your head (around 10-12 pounds). Bending your head forward at a 60-degree angle to look at a phone increases the load on your neck muscles and joints to 60 pounds! This leads to muscle fatigue, joint inflammation, and nerve pinching.
Common Symptoms
- Stiffness and soreness in the neck, restricting head rotation
- Dull ache that radiates to the shoulders, upper back, or arms
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hands and fingers
- Headaches originating from the base of the skull (cervicogenic headaches)
Root Causes
- Poor posture, especially holding screens below eye level
- Cervical spondylosis (age-related wear of cervical joints and discs)
- Muscle strain from sleeping in an awkward position
- Stress causing tension in the trapezius and neck muscles
Our Treatment Process
Holistic rehab integrated with yoga therapy
Manual cervical traction to open up joint spaces and relieve nerve compression
Trigger point release on the neck and upper back muscles
Posture correction coaching and chin-tuck exercises
Stretching of the chest muscles and strengthening of deep neck flexors
Expected Outcomes
Patients generally experience relief from muscle stiffness in 3 sessions, with full neck rotation and a significant reduction in arm nerve pain by session 8.
Key Benefits of Our Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
Can cervical pain cause dizziness?
Yes. Tight neck muscles and compressed neck joints can affect proprioception and balance sensors, leading to cervicogenic dizziness or lightheadedness.
