hello,I hit my head in December during the skiing. i had a head concession. Now, after 5 months of that i feel my neck is stiffed or some sounds in the neck when i move it, especially when it is cold. It can be connected to the concession that i had 5-6 moths ago? should i have a check up again? Especially what kind of check up and where, and what do you advice me to do? THANK YOU in advance.
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised along with MRI of cervical spine. As you are getting stiffness in the neck region and some sounds when you move the neck, it is related to the weakness of the muscles of the cervical region. Getting a Neuromuscular assessment of the cervical spine should help understand the cause. Also, with simple physical therapy and guided exercises for the neck muscles should give better results. In my clinical practice majority of patients having complaints of stiffness of neck region is due to weakness of the muscles of the neck and with physical therapy majority of them responds well.
