A member asked:

What causes sudden onset of constant cavitation in the neck? ortho no help. pt no help. exercise no help. medicine no help. mri shows nothing.neckpai

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unsure of Cavitation: I'm not familiar with the term "neck cavitation". See a musculoskeletal specialist, usually a doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) that specializes in omm (osteopathic manual medicine) or nmm (neuromuscular medicine) with a sports medicine background.
