Relief Starts With Finding the Source
Neck and shoulder pain can come from the joints, muscles, nerves, spine, or soft tissues around the area. Care starts with listening to your symptoms, reviewing your history, and helping identify what may be driving the pain.
Common Causes We Treat
Neck and shoulder pain can come from several different areas, including the cervical spine, joints, muscles, nerves, or soft tissues. These are some of the common issues we evaluate and treat at Enid Pain & Spine.
Neck Arthritis
Arthritis in the neck can cause stiffness, aching, and pain that limits movement.
Pinched or Irritated Neck Nerves
Irritated nerves in the neck can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or symptoms that travel into the shoulder or arm.
Whiplash-Type Injuries
Car accidents or sudden movement can strain the neck and shoulder area.
Shoulder or Arm Pain
Pain in the shoulder or arm may come from the joint, soft tissue, or nearby nerves.
Muscle Strain
Overuse, posture, or sudden movement can cause painful tightness or spasms in the neck and shoulder.
Muscle Trigger Points
Sensitive muscle areas can create aching, tightness, and referred pain.
Nerve Pain Near the Back of the Head
Irritated nerves near the upper neck can contribute to head, neck, or scalp pain.
Pain After Injury
Falls, accidents, or work-related injuries can lead to ongoing neck or shoulder pain.
Symptoms
Neck and shoulder pain can feel different depending on where it starts. Some patients feel stiffness or aching, while others notice pain traveling into the arm or hand.
