This article deals with both sudden and serious neck pain, plus less urgent and longer-term problems. The article also covers neck pain that begins elsewhere in the upper body.
The neck contains the spine running down it at the back, and the air pipe at the front. Otherwise, the neck is soft tissues including muscle, blood vessels, and nerves.
The most serious causes of neck pain are the least common. Doctors need to see these problems as soon as possible.
