The most common cause of pain in the neck is a disease called the cervical disc disease. In this disease, the neck starts to feel stiff. Cervical degeneration can occur because of old age; however, the most common causes of the disease are injury or trauma. As a result, moving the neck becomes extremely painful and in some cases, it can even lead to paralysis.
The cervical disc degeneration occurs because of an abnormality in the discs and the cushions which lie amidst the vertebrae. A damaged disc can lead to muscle spasms, inflammation, and long-lasting neck pain. In some cases, the degeneration can lead to numbness and pain in your arms because of nerve damage or nerve irritation.
Of course, pain relievers, neck traction, physical therapy, and lastly, surgery are advisable for easing the neck pain, one product which is also helpful in managing the pain is the Thomas Type Collar.
