The cervical spine is the portion of the spine contained within the neck. This area is more susceptible to injury because it is not protected by the bony structure of the torso like the rest of the spinal column.
Orthopedists differentiate "sprains" from "strains." Injuries of tissues that contract and move, such as muscles, tendons, and their attachments into bones, are termed strains. Similar injuries to inert (or nonmoving) structures, such as ligaments, joint capsules, nerves, bursae, blood vessels, and cartilage, are termed sprains.
The neck is an area that is more mobile than stable. You can be injured in a number of different ways, your physician will take a detailed medical and job history (including an analysis of work activity) to ascertain the likelihood of a severe injury. It also helps to predict how long your recovery will take and what your prognosis will be following an injury. Braces and wraps that restrict cervical movement may provide some relief. Cold or heat therapy is often quite beneficial. Here, you will find a wide assortment of products designed to help reduce the pain and discomfort of cervical sprain and strain.
