Symptoms Associated With Neck Pain

Symptoms Associated With Neck Pain | Chiropractic + Wellness | Scoop.it

Neck pain is one of the most common types of pain experienced by the general public. Many types of conditions and injuries can cause neck pain, such as arthritis in the neck or a whiplash injury from an automobile accident. Neck pain can range from milder degrees of irritation and discomfort to a more severe and debilitating degree, but there are also other symptoms associated with cervical spine pain. 

Besides neck pain, another common symptom associated with cervical spine pain is a decreased neck range of motion. The neck range of motion is the degree to how much an individual can bend, extend, rotate, and laterally bend their head and neck. People with neck pain also suffer from stiffness, tight muscles in the area, and aching or burning, which is the leading cause for the limited mobility of the neck.

Dr. Alex Jimenez DC, APRN, FNP, IFMCP, CFMP's insight:

Many people have experienced symptoms of neck pain due to trauma from an injury or an underlying condition. Arthritis in the neck or a whiplash injury from an automobile accident are several factors that may cause neck pain. The symptoms for neck pain can be mild or more severe, causing different degrees of pain and discomfor.

Pain in the Piriformis Muscle

Pain in the Piriformis Muscle | Chiropractic + Wellness | Scoop.it

The piriformis muscle is the largest and most important of the rotator hip muscles found in the body. Located between the middle of the buttocks and the sacrum, the piriformis muscle functions by rotating the leg and foot outward. A major issue among athletes and the general public is that the sciatic nerve runs under or through the piriformis muscle. 

Overworking or everyday stress on the body can cause the piriformis muscle to tighten, leading to irritation, swelling, and ultimately pinching of the sciatic nerve, known as piriformis syndrome. Once you have piriformis syndrome, you experience pain in the buttocks that travels down the leg of the affected piriformis muscle.

Dr. Alex Jimenez DC, APRN, FNP, IFMCP, CFMP's insight:

The piriformis muscle is the most essential rotator hip muscles in the body as it functions by rotating the leg and foot outward. The sciatic nerve runs through the piriformis muscle which is a common problem for individuals whom suffer damage or injury to the piriformis muscle, causing symptoms of sciatica.
