The neck—or cervical spine—is a coordinated network of
nerves, bones, joints, and muscles. It has the important job of providing
support and mobility for the head, but sometimes it can become painful. There
are a number of problems that cause pain in the neck. Irritation along nerve
pathways in the neck can cause pain in the shoulder, head, arm, and/or hand.
Additionally, irritation of the spinal cord can cause pain into the legs and
other areas below the neck. Neck pain is common among adults, but it can occur
at any age. In the course of 3 months, about 15% of U.S. adults have neck pain
that lasts at least one full day.
Neck pain usually goes away within a few days or weeks, but
pain that persists for months could signal an underlying medical cause that needs
to be addressed. In some cases, early intervention may be necessary for the
best results. Neck Pain Doctor Morris County specialists are the leading
