Neck

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Careful examination of the neck begins with a thorough history and physical examination including strength and sensory testing as well as observation of gait to exclude neurologic involvement. Obtaining a history of aggravating factors is helpful in narrowing down the etiology of pain. For example, pain worse with prolonged neck flexion may signify a disc issue as opposed to pain worse with neck extension, which may suggest facet-mediated pain. Pain worse with lateral flexion causing ipsilateral neck pain may indicate neural compression due to narrowing of the ipsilateral neuroforamen.
