Cervical Pain (Neck Pain): Understanding, Prevention, and Relief
Cervical pain, commonly referred to as neck pain, affects millions of people worldwide. It involves the muscles, discs, bones, and nerves of the neck. While often linked to aging or posture issues, it can affect individuals of all ages. This comprehensive guide covers causes, symptoms, prevention strategies, home remedies, Homeopathy approach and when to seek medical help.
What is Cervical Pain?
Cervical pain refers to discomfort in the neck region, typically due to:
- Wear and tear of the cervical spine

As we age, the discs in our neck lose flexibility and hydration, leading to stiffness and pain.

- Tumors (rare)
- Other underlying health conditions
