Neck pain is discomfort in the area between the base of your skull and your shoulders. The neck holds up the head and lets it move in many directions, so it is under stress much of the day. Neck pain is very common and can range from a mild ache to sharp pain that makes it hard to turn your head. Most neck pain improves with time and simple care.
Signs of neck pain can include stiffness, aching, muscle tightness, or trouble moving the head. Some people feel pain that spreads into the shoulders or arms, or they notice headaches, tingling, or numbness. Pain may feel worse after holding one position for a long time.
