Neck muscle tear

Neck muscle tear is an injury to the muscles and tendons that support and move the head and neck. The neck can be easily injured because it is capable of an extensive range of motion and less stable. The neck contains important structures including the airway, the spinal cord, and the blood vessels. But they are typically not involved when the neck is injured. Seeing a doctor is very important when you have a neck muscle tear, even if it's not too serouis or life-threatening.
