What to do if the back of the neck hurts

The soreness in the back of the neck is most likely caused by cervical spondylosis, which is a symptom of cervical spondylosis. You can judge it by whether you have little rest time during this period, sitting in front of the computer for a long time or whether your sitting posture is incorrect. When you experience cervical pain at the back of your neck, you should massage your neck appropriately, or you can use a hot towel to apply heat to relieve the condition.

After cervical spondylosis develops, it usually causes pain in the neck and even induces pain in the back. In addition, it causes upper limb weakness and multiple symptoms such as nausea, tinnitus and even dizziness, so it will have varying degrees of impact on the patient's daily physical condition. Moreover, as cervical spondylosis gradually worsens, it may cause blood supply problems in the head or nerve compression, so it must be treated early.

There are many reasons for pain in the back of the neck, but when it comes to effectively judging from a general persistent pain problem, most of them are symptoms caused by cervical spondylosis. However, pain in the back of the neck may also be caused by problems such as stiff neck or muscle strain, so you cannot simply regard pain in the back of the neck as cervical spondylosis. If you want to better determine whether your neck pain is caused by cervical spondylosis, further examination is required to determine the specific situation.

Although the symptoms of cervical spondylosis are relatively obvious, since the symptoms are similar to those caused by problems in certain other aspects, it cannot be 100% certain that you have cervical spondylosis based on the simple symptom of soreness behind the neck. So don't just make a determination. Instead, you must fundamentally understand the existing causes based on your specific symptoms and examinations. Only then can you effectively treat the existing neck pain problem and achieve the purpose of relief.

In summary, although most of the pain in the back of the neck is caused by cervical spondylosis, there are also pains caused by problems such as stiff neck or muscle strain. Therefore, further examination is needed to determine the cause. It’s just that most patients with cervical spondylosis will indeed experience pain in the back of the neck after the disease develops, but this does not mean that neck pain necessarily means cervical spondylosis, so the relationship between the two must be effectively distinguished.
