Neck Pain

Neck Pain – Information for Patients in the Nashville, TN, Area

Ever heard someone say, “That person is a pain in my neck!”? There’s a reason for this – neck pain isn’t pleasant. In fact, neck pain can be one of the most uncomfortable and debilitating forms of pain. And, unfortunately, many Americans are prone to developing discomfort and stiffness in the neck muscles as a result of hours of staring at a computer, sleeping in unhealthy positions, or arthritis-related wear and tear.

What to Do When You Have Neck Pain

Not every case of neck pain is a cause for concern. Mild discomfort can often be remedied at home with rest, over-the-counter pain relievers, and alternating heat/ice therapy. However, be sure to seek medical attention if your pain:

  • Is severe in nature
  • Continues for several days despite at-home care
  • Is accompanied by muscle weakness, numbness, or headaches
  • Travels down the arms or legs

Visit the emergency room or call 911 if your neck pain occurs after a car accident, fall, or another type of trauma.
