Abstract

Disorders related to the cervical spine can present a variety of signs and symptoms because of the many tissues and systems associated with this region. Therefore the challenge for the clinician is to organize the information from examination into a treatment plan that addresses the potential influences of the problem. the examination process should gather pertinent information from the patients, relating the pain pattern resulting loss of function. Our patients' X-rays showed absence of any abnormalities except loss of curvature. We therefore concluded that the main cause of posterior neck and shoulder pain was caused by muscle spasm, not cervical disc herniation not degenerative change.
