Your neck, or cervical spine, is composed of vertebrae, spinal discs, and nerves, among other soft tissues. When any of these structures experience damage, degeneration, or are unable to do what they are supposed to do, you could experience significant pain.

Pain in the neck or cervical spine is a common complaint among adults and it can manifest in many different ways. The cervical (neck) area of your spine has more freedom of movement than the thoracic (middle) and lumbar (lower) areas of the spine. But this freedom also makes the neck complex and more susceptible to injury and pain. There can also be a wide range of causes of spine and neck pain.
