Cervical Spine Pain or Neck Pain

The cervical spine, also known in simple terms as the neck, is a complex system comprising nerves, bones, joints, and muscles working together in perfect harmony. Your neck is responsible for supporting your head and facilitating a wide range of motion, enabling you to turn your head to either side and allow movement up and down. The neck bears this responsibility gracefully until poor posture strains the muscles, leading to pain and discomfort. Occasionally, neck pain may indicate a more severe underlying issue. It is crucial to promptly seek medical attention if you experience neck pain accompanied by numbness, loss of strength in the arms or hands, or shooting pain in the shoulder or down the arm.
