A slipped disc results when a disc between the vertebrae breaks up and puts pressure on the nerves in the area. Occasionally, a disc will rupture, which is more serious and more painful. A variety of non-emergency neck problems can develop. Wry neck is a stiff neck with pain to one side. It is caused by holding the neck in an unusual position for a long time, or exposure to a cold draft.
Bone spurs can form on a vertebrae causing pain and damage to nerves.
Different neck problems require different treatments. Seek medical care to relieve discomfort and restore proper function. All rights reserved. Information in this document is subject to change without notice.
