Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions, affecting millions of people each year—but most cases improve with conservative, non-surgical treatment. In this patient education video, cervical spine specialists from the Cervical Spine Research Society explain the common causes of neck pain, how it is diagnosed, and the treatment options available, including when imaging or surgery may be appropriate. You'll also learn what symptoms may indicate a more serious condition and when to seek evaluation from a spine specialist.
