What Is Neck Pain & Cervical Dysfunction?
Cervical dysfunction refers to any issue affecting the joints, muscles, nerves, or discs in the neck region (cervical spine). It is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems, often presenting as neck pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, or nerve-related symptoms like tingling or weakness in the arms.
​
Most people experience neck discomfort at some point, especially with poor posture, stress, or prolonged screen use. In some cases, underlying conditions like disc bulges or joint degeneration may be involved.
Common Symptoms:
-
Localised neck pain or tightness
-
Reduced ability to turn or tilt the head
-
Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)
-
Radiating pain or numbness into the shoulders, arms, or hands
-
Muscle spasms or a sensation of “locking”
-
Dizziness or imbalance (in certain cases)
