Neck pain is not a disease in itself but a clinical condition, of which the cervical spine is the most flexible segment of the body with the highest frequency of movement.
Diseases such as poor neck posture, cold and wet environments, cervical spondylosis, structural dysplasia of the cervical spine, neck trauma, cervical small joint syndrome and inflammation of the musculofascia of the neck can cause neck pain by damaging the cervical spine and the muscles, fascia, joints and other structures of the neck. Even external cervical pathologies such as cervical tuberculosis, occipitocervical neuralgia, or vasoneuropathic headaches, infections of the inner ear or throat can cause neck pain.
Because of its connection between the head and trunk and its large extent, there are many causes of cervical spine pain. If there is significant pain in the neck that cannot be relieved, or if movement is restricted, prompt medical attention is recommended for a definitive diagnosis.
