The neck is an integral part of the spine. The vertebrae, together with muscles, nerves, joints and discs supports your head. Frequent headaches and neck pain issues may be a result of spine issues.
Neck pain is commonly encountered during our lifetime. The intervertebral discs function as cushions or shock absorbers, allowing the spine to handle various forms of loads and stresses during the lifetime of the person. They also allow movement of the neck in various directions. Besides the intervertebral discs, the surrounding muscles, ligaments, shoulders, as well as joints of the spine also play an important role to keep the cervical spine (neck) in the proper alignment.
All these supporting structures have nerves transmitting pain signals, and if there is anything amiss, pain signals will be sent from the nerves to the brain of the person involves, alerting him or her of a potential issue.
