Somerset, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 07/24/2017 --The University Pain Medicine Center is pleased to announce that treatment options are available for cervical sprains and more. These neck pain doctors near Edison, NJ, provide a multitude of choices when it comes to treating cervical sprains and other neck pain such as anti-inflammatory medications, chiropractic therapy, and acupuncture.

A cervical sprain occurs when a muscle or ligament is stretched or torn in the neck, usually caused by trauma to the neck like a sports injury. Neck pain, in general, can be brought on by spinal disease, whiplash, or even simple factors like aging or poor posture. Diagnostic tests are necessary at times to discover the cause of the pain. Doctors will complete a physical examination to determine the range of motion, flexibility, and severity of the injury. They also may opt for an X-ray, MRI, or bone scan if the physician thinks it will benefit the particular case.

A majority of people will endure neck pain at some point during their lifetime, while 10 percent of people will suffer from neck pain every year. The cervical spine consists of the top ten vertebrae, which supports the head, allowing it to turn, rotate, and tilt. It's the tilting movement that increases the risk of neck injuries.

Neck pain is tricky. Sometimes it fades away and returns out of nowhere. Don't ignore symptoms such as stiffness, sharp pain, severe headaches, or tingling sensations in hands or arms.
