I first took him last summer to see if there was anything that could be done about his posture--he has a pronounced slump, with his head jutting forward. The chiropractor said he had a misaligned neck vertebrae, and used a machine to "tap" it back into place. The change in his posture was instant and remarkable--he stood straight as a rod. But a couple of days later, he was slumping again. And so on...

i really just went for the massage. in the xray it showed my neck vertebrae as straight rather than curved, and 4 vertebrae in my back that were out of alignment pinching a nerve or something to that effect. i have no pain whatsover in my neck or back. the doc says i should get these things fixed before any problems arise and should in come for treatment twice a week for 3 weeks then look at xrays again.

The Doctor he sees has told him that actually doing the physio, has caused scaring that he can never repair (is this called stenosis), and is now suing them. I have experienced anxiety and at the moment im not that bad, but am being referred to cognitive behavioural therapy for it.

Long story short, I fractured my C1 vertebrae in a car accident back in July. I was in a Miami J for 13 weeks. I did not require surgery and I have been in physical therapy for about 2 weeks now, slowly regaining my flexibility/strength. Everything seems to have healed fine and all the tendons/ligaments held up fine with no severe damage which would require surgery and the vertebrae stayed completely stable during healing.

Hello Doctor, I was detected with thyroid nodule incidentally while conducting MRI scan. This was done to see if I had any problem in my spine & neck. I met an Orthopedic Surgeon for my neck pain.

No focal root compression. Congenital block vertebra at C6-C7.

I know the pain you are describing, my mid back and neck always hurts and I have the pain that wraps around my back through my side where I broke the ribs and sometimes its very unbearable. It almost feels like bones are pushing on me from the inside out. It hurts to take deep breathes and I have bones that feel like they pop out of place in my chest, ribs, and back when I move certain ways.

then carefully remove the wet collar and replace with dry one, with minimal movement. i would also call the doctor and make him aware of his level of pain and inadequate pain regimen. if he is uncomfortable with this, seek out a pain management specialist who wont be uncomfortable prescribing proper dosing for legitimate problems. if he had pain relief, he'd probably be able to find a comfortable position.

Degenerative diseases or deviations of the spinal column can also change vertebrae structure and create acute pain. Neck pains often result from emotional tension or from working in one position for long periods or stiff neck. Nerve endings can be affected from traumatic, infectious or degenerative origins. And finally, it could develop from tension and produce severe soreness without any underlying disease. It would be good to see your doctor for proper evaluation and management.

Hello, I discovered like a month ago what appears to be a bony hump or vertebrae sticking out on the back of my neck. I found it because I've been experiencing back pain so I took a mirror and I discovered the bone sticking out. Funny thing, I don't feel neck pain but I don't know why I have this.. I believe this appeared as I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, so this looks like posture related. I also don't go outside a lot and I guess I'm lacking some vitamin D.

If this is where your problem is, several things may help. Since the pain is eased by laying down, I think you are just not moving the neck enough. Try some exercises that will relax the neck and back. don't hold the head in the same position too long. Sewing, knitting, watching tv or computer, reading, etc. are activities that you do without moving the neck around too much. Take breaks and roll the neck and relax the shoulders.

Ever since I was younger, if i turned my head a certain way (always to the side) I would get a really sharp pain that would run up the side of my neck and couse my tongue to tingle and go numb. I always thought this was normal, but the more I talk to people about it...the more I realize that maybe it isn't. lately I have been getting headaches that start in the base of my neck and kinda shoot forward to the front of my head, and usually before I get those kind of headaches I feel a little dizzy.

Hello, Neck pain can be due to many causes.It can be due to injury, a mechanical or muscular problem, a trapped nerve caused by a bulge in one of the discs between the vertebrae, or from arthritis of the neck. Sometimes it can be due to slipped disc, brittle bones (osteoporosis), deformed natural curvature of the spine (scoliosis) and, very rarely, structural damage due to tumors or infection.
