Differential Diagonses
Chronic Neck Pain
- Zygapophyseal joint pain (~40%)
- Cervical disc pain (~40%)
- Combined ZA joint and disc pain (~20%)
- Systemic causes such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis.
- Infections (bones, joints, discs, epidural abscess, and meningitis)
- Tumours
- DISH and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament
- Chronic BPPV
Acute Neck Pain
Neck pain can result from any innervated cervical spine structure
- "Cervical sprain"
- Discogenic pain
- Zygapophyseal joint pain
- C0/C1 and C1/C2 lateral joints
- Muscle sprain
- Segmental dysfunction
- Vascular disorders: dissection of vertebral artery, internal carotid artery, or aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta.
- Fracture
- DISH and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament
- Tumours
