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.

Preventive measures and treatment modalities for correcting spinal disorders benefit significantly from advancements aimed at understanding the biomechanics of the human spine in the normal as well as altered states [1]. Finite element (FE) modeling is a useful tool to understand the behavior of the cervical spine under such conditions. In order for an FE model to yield clinically relevant results, the geometry must be as realistic as possible [2], in addition to incorporating accurate material properties and boundary conditions. The spine’s anatomy is very complex, rendering it difficult to acquire accurate geometrical representations for FE analysis. Many meshes in the literature are based on simplified or idealized geometries, or are assumed to be symmetric about the sagittal plane [3]. Traditional meshing techniques are time consuming and tedious, and lack remeshing capabilities [2]. The ability to create hexahedral cervical spine FE models on a patient-specific basis is a desirable task because it can account for variations in anatomy, as well as provide insight for surgical planning/treatment. Our mesh development methods improve on existing multi-block meshing methods to make this possible. We have created a C45 functional spinal unit (FSU) using these techniques, and to date have validated it by comparison to data presented in the literature.
