Head and Neck Pain

Comprehensive Care for Head and Neck Injuries at Chicago Spine and Sports

The head and neck are among the body's most delicate and vital areas, making them highly susceptible to injury. Common injuries in these regions include:

• Whiplash

  • Whiplash is a neck injury resulting from sudden, forceful head and neck movement. It often occurs in car accidents but can also result from falls or sports injuries.

• Concussion

  • A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head. Symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and memory issues.

• Herniated Disc

  • A herniated disc occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc bulges out or ruptures, putting pressure on spinal nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands.

• Arthritis

  • Arthritis causes joint inflammation and can affect neck joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion.
