Neck pain
Neck pain is when there is pain in the neck and it is a common problem. Two thirds of humans will experience neck pain at some point in their life.[source?] Although neck pain is felt in the neck, it can also be caused by many other spinal problems.
It can sometimes be caused by tight muscles in the neck and upper back or compression of the spinal nerves in the neck. Injuries to the joints of the neck and upper back can also cause pain.
