Understanding the Silent Cry of Your Cervical Spine
Neck pain is more than a minor annoyance—it’s a clear signal from your body that something requires attention. Whether caused by injury, degenerative changes, or nerve compression, neck pain can interfere with daily activities, affect your mood, and limit your mobility.
To fully understand the root causes of neck discomfort and explore the best solutions, Dr. Dariusz Nasiek, MD, a triple-board-certified expert in pain management, offers his extensive knowledge and compassionate care at his main office in Englewood, NJ, as well as at other locations throughout New Jersey and New York.

What’s Causing My Pain?
Neck pain can have many sources, often related to aging, injury, or repetitive strain. At Allied Neurology & Interventional Pain Practice, we commonly diagnose and treat:
- Cervical spondylosis: Age-related wear and tear affecting the discs and joints
- Herniated disc: A cervical disc pressing on nearby spinal nerves
- Whiplash: Injury from rapid back-and-forth neck motion
- Cervical radiculopathy: Nerve irritation causing radiating symptoms
- Neck strain: Overstretching or tearing of muscles and tendons
- Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of cartilage and bone structures
- Cervical stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal leading to nerve compression
