Pain emanating from the cervical spine represents a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians. The precise etiology of the pain may be difficult to identify because there are many potential pain-generating structures in the cervical spine and surrounding region. It is helpful to delineate the patient’s symptoms as axial- or radicular-predominant in order to guide the investigation prior to initiating treatment. The evidence for many commonly used treatment regimens is variable, and therefore an individualized plan is often necessary. Although it is conceptually accommodating to compartmentalize the etiology of cervical spine pain from a single source, the reality is that multiple structures are often involved, given the complex anatomy of the cervical spine. This chapter discusses cervical spine anatomy and biomechanics, as well as the etiology, pathophysiology, and management options for axial and radicular neck pain.

Pain Symptoms

Background: The spine pain syndrome is a common problem in a substantial part of the population which currently affects younger and younger people. The underlying risk factors include the character of work, sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity. Except for complex physiotherapy which should be applied during treatment, a lifestyle prophylaxis also seems to be a key factor. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to present the possibility to use the classical and therapeutic massage of the back, and a lymphatic drainage of lower limbs in case of the lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome accompaniedby the lower limb swelling. Material and methods: A young woman with the lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome received a 55-minute lymphatic drainage (four sessions), a 30-minute classical massage (four sessions) and a 45-minute therapeutic massage (two sessions). All the procedures were performed every two days. Results: After the application of all kinds of the massage, selected individually to current symptoms and needs of the patient, the pain in the area of the spine was relieved. After the therapy the pressure pain in the back muscles such as: latissimus dorsi (lats), trapezius (traps) and spinal erectors was also decreased. The swelling in the area of the lower limb was reduced and the patient reported general decrease of pain. Conclusions: A massage may constitute an effective anti-pain therapy in case of the lumbar and cervical spine pain syndrome. Combined with educating patients about proper motor habits might prevent similar pain symptoms in the future.

Abstract Background: The vast majority of pain dysfunctions of the cervical spine is underlain by prolonged overload and one effective therapy is traction. The aim of this study is to assess the influence of cervical spine traction on changes in heart rate and arterial blood pressure in people with arterial hypertension and normotension. Material/Methods: The study involved a total of 168 patients, in whom chronic cervical spine pain syndrome of low intensity, with no radiation of symptoms and with no significant functional limitations occurred. The subjects were intentionally allocated into a group with arterial hypertension and a group with normotension. Results: The analysis of the obtained results showed that cervical spine traction does not strain the cardiovascular system. In the group of subjects with arterial hypertension, a linear value reduction of all the heart hemodynamic parameters measured in the successive trials was observed. The most significant difference between the initial and final test was observed in patients, in whom the traction procedure was only simulated. Conclusions: Cervical spine traction performed according to D. Saunders’ method does not constitute any threat to patients with arterial hypertension.
