Condition Overview
Cervicalgia is a general term for neck pain originating from muscles, ligaments, discs, or the vertebrae in the cervical spine. This discomfort can stem from poor posture, muscle strains (e.g., from computer work or phone use), or underlying problems like disc herniation or arthritis. Headaches, stiffness, and tenderness are common side effects.
Most people experience neck pain at some point, and many cases resolve on their own with rest and conservative care. However, chronic or severe neck pain may signal a deeper issue that requires thorough investigation.
