Many episodes improve within a few weeks. If pain lasts beyond six weeks, keeps returning, or spreads into the arm, a specialist assessment is sensible.
Not on its own. Degenerative changes are common in people without symptoms, so we interpret MRI alongside your history and examination.
Cervical spondylosis describes age-related changes in the discs and joints of the neck. These changes are very common and often cause no symptoms, so we assess whether they are relevant to your pain rather than assuming they are the cause.
Yes. An irritated nerve root in the neck can cause arm pain, tingling or weakness, and we assess this pattern carefully.
Some headaches originate in the upper neck joints and muscles. We examine whether your headaches fit that pattern.
