While often neck pain can be due to a strain or pull, it can also stem from the spine. Neck pain affects the cervical region of the spine and can be due to an injury, pinched nerve, back condition, spine condition, or many other factors. The cervical area of the spine provides mobility to the neck and is made up of multiple connecting joints, discs, muscles and ligaments. https://www.thespineandrehabgroup.com/conditions/neck
