Evaluation and treatment of neurological causes of neck pain, stiffness and associated nerve symptoms.

Peripheral nerves
Carrying signals between the spinal cord and the muscles and skin. Neck Pain is usually associated with this part of the nervous system.
A broad teaching association, not a diagnosis. A symptom in one area very often originates somewhere else entirely, and only a neurological examination can establish where.
