Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pain Medicine
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Neck sprain involves soft tissue lesions in cervical discs, joints, muscles, and nerve roots.
  • Peripheral nociception from various cervical structures can cause neck pain, headache, and radiating upper body pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristics of neck sprains and their pain mechanisms.
  • To highlight methods for localizing pain sources in cervicalgia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the pathophysiology of neck sprains.
  • Discussion of clinical examination techniques.
  • Exploration of diagnostic local anesthetic injections.

Main Results:

  • Neck sprains affect cervical discs, joints, muscles, and nerve roots.

  • Pain can originate from the outer annulus, capsules, muscles, meninges, arteries, and nerves.
  • Physical examination and targeted injections can identify pain generators.

    • Conclusions:

    • Neck pain from sprains is multifactorial, involving various soft tissues.
    • Accurate diagnosis relies on thorough physical assessment and potentially diagnostic injections to pinpoint pain origins.
