Neck Pain
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Neck pain is pain localized in the neck area, which can extend toward the shoulders or the upper back and limit movement.
Common causes: It is often related to muscle tension, poor posture, spending long periods in front of screens, sudden movements, or wear of the cervical structures.
When to see the doctor? It is wise to consult if the pain persists, intensifies, or is accompanied by tingling, weakness in the arms, or a significant headache.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner and the physical therapist are usually the first point of contact for evaluating neck pain, and they can refer you to other professionals if necessary. Addressing neck pain early helps prevent it from becoming persistent.
