What Does A Grinding Sound In The Neck Indicate?

Posted on Wed, 29 Apr 2015

Question: Hi, i hear grinding soud in neck when i move head from left t right and vise versa.

Brief Answer:
Require an MRI scan.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

I understand your concern.

This sensation of grinding sound during neck movements is possibly related to cervical disc disease.

Disc degeneration and disc slippage are usually associated with such changes.

All you need is an early MRI scan of the neck.

This can accurately localise the disc pathology .

Further treatment is largely based on the test results.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
