Neck Anatomy / Neck Pain

Neck provides the connection between the head and the body. It supports our head and keeps it in a balanced position. It ensures that the head moves easily in many directions. The neck consists of 7 cervical vertebras. The uppermost two of these have differentiated to ensure to hold on to the skull bones. There are disks between neck vertebras. Disks are in fact small cushions with the consistency of gel to prevent friction of the vertebras to each other. The task of disks is to transmit the amount of load coming onto them to lower levels in a balanced way.

Neck vertebras hold onto each other with disks and strong ligaments. This system gain flexibility and strength with muscles. Spinal cord and nerves pass through the cervical vertebras. The spinal cord is a very important structure 2 cm in thickness that transmits the orders it received from the brain to the entire body.

Nerves emerging from the spinal cord in cervical level ensure movements, senses and strength of our hands and arms. Healthy neck is the balanced one. With the purpose of ensuring this balance, the neck vertebras have a natural curve. Maintaining this curve is very important for a comfortable and painless neck. Degeneration and impairment starts in the cervical vertebras if this curve is impaired. This in turn will increase pain in neck and arms.
