Neck Pain Clinical Practice Guidelines

Neck Pain Clinical Practice Guidelines provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based recommendations to diagnose and treat neck pain effectively. These guidelines emphasize accurate assessment, considering factors like duration, severity, and possible underlying causes. They suggest initial treatments such as physical therapy, medication, or lifestyle modifications, and recommend when advanced imaging or specialist evaluation is necessary. The goal is to manage pain effectively, prevent chronic issues, and promote safe, appropriate care, helping patients recover more quickly and avoid unnecessary interventions.
