PY - 2015 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Family Medicine, 4e AB - Neck pain is a common clinical problem experienced by nearly two-thirds of people. Neck pain can be quite disabling, in some countries accounting for nearly as much disability as low back pain. Neck pain is also similar to low back pain in that the etiology is poorly understood and the clinical diagnoses can be vague. Compared to low back pain, however, neck pain has received limited study. The few available randomized controlled studies lack consistency in study design. This chapter reviews the epidemiology and anatomy of neck pain and provides an evidence-based guide for the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of this challenging disorder.
