About
Neck pain is discomfort or pain in the cervical spine and surrounding muscles, often caused by poor posture, muscle tension, disc degeneration, or trauma. Most acute neck pain resolves within days to weeks; chronic neck pain (lasting more than three months) is more complex and often involves both structural and lifestyle factors. It is among the most common musculoskeletal complaints in adults.
What it feels like
Aching or stiffness in the neck and upper shoulders
Pain that radiates into the arm or hand (cervical radiculopathy)
Headaches originating at the base of the skull
Reduced range of motion — difficulty turning the head
Muscle tightness or spasm
When to get help
Seek urgent care for neck pain following trauma (car accident, fall), for neck pain with progressive arm weakness or numbness, or for severe neck stiffness with fever and headache — which may indicate meningitis.
