Neck pain is among the most common symptoms of cervical spine degeneration in which the neck discs become dry and shrink with age. Studies estimate a prevalence of 60% in people over 40 as compared to 25% in those under 40. Neck pain from cervical disc disease is often managed with medication, including over-the-counter painkillers, anti-inflammatory medication, steroids, narcotic pain killers, and cortisone pills. Heat and cold therapies, physical therapy, weight loss, and chiropractic adjustments can also help relieve neck discomfort from disc degeneration.
