Neck pain should not, and must not, be confused with cervical radicular pain.
Equating the two conditions, or confusing them, results in misdiagnosis,
inappropriate investigations, and inappropriate treatment that is destined to
fail. So critical is the difference that pedagogically it is unwise to include
the two topics in the same book, let alone the same article. However, traditions
and expectations are hard to break. In deference to habit, this article addresses
both entities, but does so by underplaying cervical radicular pain so as to
retain the emphasis on neck pain.
