When Neck Pain Persists Longer Than 12 Weeks, There Most Likely Is Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease Involved. The decrease in disc height may also result in loss of the normal curve of the neck. The cause of the pain in cervical degenerative disc disease is thought to come from the disc which becomes incompetent as a result of the degenerative process. The discs are supplied by nerves and disc degeneration may stimulate these nerves and cause mechanical neck pain.

Neck pain Your neck is flexible and supports the weight of your head, so it can be vulnerable to injuries and conditions that cause pain and restrict motion. Neck pain causes include: 1  Muscle strains. 2  Overuse, such as too many hours hunched over your computer or smartphone, often triggers muscle strains. Osteoarthritis causes the cushions (cartilage) between your bones (vertebrae) to deteriorate. 2  Your body then forms bone spurs that affect joint motion and cause pain. 3  Nerve compression. 4  Herniated disks or bone spurs in the vertebrae of your neck can press on the nerves branching out from the spinal cord.

Anatomy Cervical radiculopathy, commonly called a pinched nerve occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord. This may cause pain that radiates into the shoulder, as well as muscle weakness and numbness that travels down the arm and into the hand. Cervical radiculopathy is often caused by wear and tear changes that occur in the spine as we age, such as arthritis. In younger people, it is most often caused by a sudden injury that results in a herniated disk.

Cervical Radicular Pain Cervical radicular pain is the pain caused by irritation or inflammation or injury of a cervical spine nerve. The pain is located in the upper arm ipsilateral to the lesion and is acute, stabbing, electric shock-like.(3,4). Cervical radicular pain has to be differentiated from cervical radiculopathy.he most common cause of chronic (over 3 months) cervical radicular pain is the formation of adhesions around a nerve root and its chronic irritation. Adhesions may form as a result of acute inflammation due to disc herniation or after spine surgery.

- The most common causes of cervical fractures and dislocations are motor vehicle accidents, falls, violence, and sports activities. The abrupt impact and/or twisting of the neck that occurs in a millisecond during the trauma can cause the spine bones to crack or the ligaments to rupture, or both. The initial trauma or event may cause a cervical fracture and/or instability, which may also cause damage to the spinal cord and neurologic structures.
