Abstract

Neck pain is a prevalent and burdensome health condition that significantly impacts individuals' well-being and
productivity. This review paper aims to present a comprehensive overview of neck pain management,
encompassing diverse aspects ranging from its anatomical and biomechanical foundations to emerging and
complementary therapeutic approaches. The review explores the anatomy and mechanisms of neck pain,
including the identification of common causes and classifications based on duration, severity, and etiology.
Furthermore, it emphasizes the use of clinical evaluation methods in accurately assessing the condition. Nonpharmacological management approaches are meticulously examined, encompassing physical therapy,
manual techniques and posture corrections. Pharmacological interventions, including over-the-counter
analgesics, muscle relaxants, and prescription medications, are also critically reviewed, with special
considerations for specific populations. Interventional and surgical options are explored, presenting the
efficacy, risks, and limitations of these treatment modalities. Additionally, emerging therapies such as virtual
reality, mind-body interventions and chiropractic care are discussed, alongside the significance of
multidisciplinary care and collaborative efforts.
