This article provides an approach to managing neck pain in primary care. Neck pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages and populations. It is associated with various comorbidities and can have multiple causes, ranging from muscular strains to more serious conditions. The article emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive evaluation, including history and physical examination, to determine the appropriate management. Laboratory tests are generally not useful unless red flag symptoms are present, and imaging may be recommended depending on the duration and characteristics of the pain. Conservative treatment, such as physiotherapy and lifestyle modifications, is typically the first-line approach, with referral to a specialist if needed. Prevention strategies, such as good posture and physical activity, are also important.
