Neck pain has many causes. Mot often, the reasons are due to wear and tear of the vertebrae in the neck (the cervical spine). However, there are many other causes of neck pain such as tuberculosis, congenital abnormalities in the spine which can manifest in early adulthood, instability and tumors. Therefore, neck pain needs medical attention early and promptly particularly in a young person. Whereas the lumbar spine is related to nerve roots (small branches of the spinal cord), the cervical spine is in close relation to the spinal cord itself, compression of which can leave the person with serious permanent disability.
