Cervical Neck Issue?
I am 35, I have been having shoulder pains, but a shoulder MRI revealed nothing. I also have chronic neck and upper Back Pain and migraines. Lately, the pain in my shoulder has moved to my deltoids and down my arm. I had a Cervical Spine MRI and it showed that I have a straightened lordosis (curve in neck) and a mild bulging disk at C4-C5. I am in a great deal of pain. What can be done for this? Will lifting heavy things (50lbs.) cause a problem?
Strongly suggest seeing a physical therapist. You need to be educated as to what can and cannot be done with regards to the neck. Lifting fifty pounds may not be the best thing for you but if it is part of your job there are ways to strengthen the upper body and neck to deal with this. There are techniques to address the problems you have with therapy. Without examining you it would not be prudent to give any further advice. The loss of curve in the neck is usually from strong muscular spasms and with therapy this can be regained.

Does cervical traction work if the reason for my straight neck is muscle spasm?
My neck is only straight b/c i injured myself in a whiplash. muscle relaxers dont work. so is cervical traction gonna do anything if the reason for my neck is muscular and not structural?
Cervical traction is a process which is used to realign or shift injured parts of the spine.Cervical traction can also be done at home.
