CERVICALGIA

Cervicalgia, commonly known as neck pain, affects many people at some point in their lives. The treatment for cervicalgia depends on the underlying cause of the pain. Conservative measures such as rest, physical therapy, and over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can treat cervicalgia in many cases.

If conservative treatments do not provide relief, your doctor may recommend other treatment options such as prescription pain medications, muscle relaxants, or corticosteroid injections. Surgery may treat cervicalgia in rare cases. However, the majority of individuals with neck pain respond well to conservative treatments and can regain their normal function and quality of life. It is important to consult a doctor to determine the best course of treatment for this specific condition.
