Neck Pain
Neck pain can be disruptive, especially when it radiates into the shoulder or arm. While terms like “herniated disc” or “degeneration” may sound alarming, studies show that these findings are common even in people with no pain. Your symptoms often improve without any change on an image, which means recovery is possible without relying on surgery or injections.
What the Research Says
Most “abnormal” MRI findings are seen in pain-free individuals (Nakashima et al., Spine, 2015).
Imaging results often depend more on the radiologist and location than the actual spine (Herzog et al., Spine, 2017).
Guidelines recommend avoiding unnecessary imaging, using manual therapy, and focusing on exercise-based rehab.
