Neck and shoulder pain can be a significant source of discomfort and has the ability to drastically interfere with normal daily activities. One never realized how much we rely on our limbs to manipulate the world around us until it’s use is taken from us or inhibited by pain in the neck, shoulder, or surrounding areas.

Typically, simple neck pain, strain/strain or ’stiff’ neck that is not serious in nature will resolve on it’s own within 24-48 hrs. If this does not occur, or, your symptoms are continuous and have been present for weeks, months or years it’s imperative you seek professional help.

Below is a picture of the Cervical Spine (neck) anatomy.  Injury or dysfunciton to any one of these structures can result in pain. 

1. Anterior arch of the atlas
2. Dens of axis
3. Posterior arch of the atlas
4. Soft palate
5. Root of the tongue
6. Transverse process
7. Intervertebral disc
8. Inferior articular process
9. Superior articular process
10. Zygapophyseal (facet) joint
11. Spinous process of C7

Any of the above labeled structures may be injured in an accident and could be the source of your pain. Many times, shoulder and neck pain are not isolated events, and finding complete resolution to the problem requires co-treatment of both affected areas.
