- WhiplashThese injuries are most often caused by trauma. For example, among whiplash patients, the cervical facet joints have been implicated as a major source of chronic neck pain, often involving the upper cervical facet joints, most often the C2-3 level. Pain from an injured facet joint is often “referred” to an adjacent area, for example the back of the head or upper back area, depending on which facet joint has been injured.
- Pinched NerveA pinched nerve in the neck often causes tingling, pain, and weakness into one or both arms. Arm symptoms depends on the affected nerve root(s), with the C7, C6, and C5 nerve roots most commonly involved, roughly in that order. Patients often have pain and tingling from the neck or shoulder into the hand, and their pattern of weakness will depend on the nerve roots involved. For example, patients with C7 nerve root involvement would have difficulty doing a push-up and tingling into the middle fingers of the hand. Patients with C5 nerve root involvement would have more difficulty with bicep curls, and tingling further up the arm rather than the hand.
