The most common cause of cervical pain is cervical spondylosis, frequently seen among office workers and students. It is primarily due to prolonged periods of desk work or studying, leading to neck muscle fatigue, tissue ischemia, and hypoxia. If neck pain is significant, patients should visit an orthopedic or pain clinic for a cervical spine X-ray to assess the severity. Treatment may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as meloxicam or diclofenac sodium.
