Pain in the upper part of the neck: 1. It usually refers to the area adjacent between the upper part of the neck and the head. Since the top of the neck is the occipital bone, it is also called occipital neck pain, which is actually one of the clinical manifestations of cervical spondylosis, mostly due to prolonged head-down work, or prolonged one posture, resulting in fatigue damage to the muscle ligaments of the occipital neck due to prolonged overstretching. 2. Degenerative lesions of the cervical discs, which stimulate and compress the nerves innervating the occipital neck, can also lead to occipital neck pain. In this case, you can use acupuncture, massage treatment. Normally, you should pay attention to the neck not to keep a posture for a long time, avoid strenuous activities, do not get injured, do more head tilting and chest expansion exercises to protect the cervical spine. If, after conservative treatment, the symptoms of pain in the neck are not relieved within a short period of time, you must go to a regular hospital in time to seek medical advice and do not delay the condition.
