Types of Neck and Back Pain

Pain can be acute, chronic, or neuropathic.

Acute pain is often related to tissue damage. Though sharp and severe, it recedes as the injured tissues heal.
Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts more than three months. This type of pain persists even after tissues have healed.
Neuropathic pain is specifically related to disorders of the nervous system. It can include sensations such as pain from normally non-painful stimuli (allodynia).
Different areas of the back can be individually affected by stress or injury, such as the lumbar spine (lower back), thoracic spine (upper back), or cervical spine (neck).

The neck extends from the skull to the upper torso, composed of cervical discs (hence the name cervical spine), bones, ligaments, and muscles. Abnormalities, inflammation, and injuries can cause or alleviate neck pain and stiffness.
