What Is Neck Pain?
Neck pain refers to discomfort or stiffness in the cervical spine, which supports the head and allows movement. Pain may:
- Stay localized in the neck
- Spread to the shoulders or upper back
- Travel down the arm
- Trigger headaches
👉 Neck pain that spreads to the arm may indicate nerve involvement
