Cervical Pain: Types, Causes and Treatment

Bigapollo21 Aug, 2023Health

If the discomfort caused by arthritis is left untreated, it can affect your daily activities and reduce your quality of life. The pain may get worse if you experience persistent aching, burning or stinging pain, or stabbing pain from your neck to your arm or shoulder. Treating this condition requires a chief physician to rule out the cause of neck pain, such as cancer or infection, myelopathy or spinal cord injury. They will recommend arthritis treatment such as physical therapy, muscle relaxants and medications, steroid injections, surgery, alternative therapies, or transcutaneous electrical devices (TENS). If you have arthritis or have no bowel or bladder control after an accident, you should seek immediate medical attention from a GP.
