- Abstract: Neck pain is common symptom; one out of three individuals can recall at least one incidence of neck pain in their lifetime. Evaluating and treating common cervical spine conditions calls for a probability analysis of what injured structure is most likely causing the patient's complaints. The newer diagnostic procedures must supplement the diagnostic approach but must never replace the proper interpretation of a careful history, the reproduction of the symptoms during the examination, or the performance of to meaningful orthopedic and neurologic examination. This review is offered to summarize all of these considerations with the intent of ascertaining proper management of the patient with pain in the neck or from the neck.
