Cervical Neck Pain is a common condition that affects the neck region of the spine, causing pain, stiffness, discomfort, and restricted movement. The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae in the neck that support the head and allow movement in different directions. Due to poor posture, prolonged screen time, stress, muscle strain, injuries, or degenerative spinal conditions, many individuals experience cervical pain that can interfere with daily activities and quality of life.
Cervical neck pain may range from mild discomfort to severe pain radiating into the shoulders, arms, or upper back. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic stiffness, headaches, nerve compression, weakness, or reduced mobility.
At Khera Hospital Pvt. Ltd., advanced diagnosis and comprehensive treatment for cervical neck pain are provided under the expert supervision of Dr. Vipul Khera to help patients achieve long-lasting pain relief and improved neck function.
Cervical neck pain refers to pain or discomfort originating from the cervical spine, muscles, nerves, ligaments, or discs present in the neck region. The cervical spine supports the weight of the head and allows flexibility for movements such as turning, bending, and tilting.
Pain can occur due to muscle strain, poor posture, spinal degeneration, disc problems, or nerve compression. The condition may affect people of all age groups, especially individuals who spend long hours sitting, using computers, or looking at mobile screens.
Several factors can contribute to cervical neck pain, including:
Symptoms may vary depending on the severity and underlying cause.
Common symptoms include:
