What is Neck Pain or Cervical Pain

Neck pain refers to pain in or around your neck. The spine in neck region is medically known as cervical spine, hence neck pain also commonly known as cervical pain. Neck pain is a symptom which can arise from varied pathologies. Neck pain can be limited to neck only, known as axial neck pain or sometimes pain also radiates to shoulders or arms. It can be acute (lasting a few days to a few weeks) or chronic (lasting more than three months). Good thing about neck pain is, in most causes of neck pain aren’t serious and improve with conservative treatments, like pain medicine, exercise and stress management.

Injury: Trauma and other traumas can damage your spinal cord's muscles, ligaments, discs, vertebral joints, and nerve roots, resulting in neck pain.
Infection or tumour in spine: infection or tumours can cause damage to bone and ligament thus making it unstable and resulting in neck pain and when it causes compression over the nerves can leads to radicular pain in arms or neurological weakness
