Caused by damage, disease and/or trauma to the structures in the neck (cervical spine) as well as local to the neck. Symptoms are often felt in the shoulders, upper bank and sometimes in the upper limbs, if neural structures are involved.
PRICE principles should be adopted if pain results from common movement injuries such as bending or twisting the neck.
If you have neck pain it is important to consult a medial professional who can then advise you on the best management.
Physiotherapy is very good at managing and treating neck complaints.
