Marco Funiciello Preface This book is designed to serve as a reference for students and healthcare providers who treat neck pain. Neck pain is a common presenting complaint of patients who visit providers who treat musculoskeletal conditions. As with many musculoskeletal com- plaints, there is significant overlap in the presentation of many of the pathologies that cause neck pain, which can create challenges in arriving at an accurate diagnosis based on a patient’s history and physical exam. The book provides an overview of the most common causes of neck pain including strains, sprains, facet-mediated pain, radicu- lopathies and discogenic pain, and it delves into the diagnosis and treatment for these commonly seen conditions. The book presents the anatomy, pathophysiology, presentation, diagnostic work-up and evidence-based treatment plans for common causes of neck pain in an easily accessible manner. By doing so, we hope that it will enable its readers to provide more accurate diagnosis and effective treatments for their patients. Ultimately, this book aims to guide providers from multiple specialties and disciplines—including physical therapists, pri- mary care physicians, physiatrists and spine surgeons—in their approach when treating patients who present with neck pain.

Included among these structures are the cervical verte- brae, soft tissue structures, muscles, and vascular and lymphatic structures. Additionally, a detailed review of the neurological structures of the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system that reside in the neck is provided. The anatomical groundwork that is established in this chapter will allow for an enhanced understanding of the patho- logical conditions discussed throughout the book. C. Silverberg · M.
