Is an infection identified? --------------------If No, See a physician. Further differential diagnosis may require the use of procedure/imaging tests such as X-rays, which with the use of electromagnetic radiation, will produce clear images of the neck's bone to identify abnormalities, CT Scans, through the use of X-rays and computing will provide better visuals of the bones, in order to better identify abnormalities, and MRI Scans, through the use of radio waves and magnets, will create detailed images of bones and tissues to further identify abnormalities in the neck. --------------------If Yes, Get antibiotics by getting a prescription from the doctor to treat infection, otherwise use other medication. Is there still pain present? ----------------------If Yes, You are cured since infection and pain is gone. ----------------------If No, See a physician. Further differential diagnosis may require the use of procedure/imaging tests such as X-rays, which with the use of electromagnetic radiation, will produce clear images of the neck's bone to identify abnormalities, CT Scans, through the use of X-rays and computing will provide better visuals of the bones, in order to better identify abnormalities, and MRI Scans, through the use of radio waves and magnets, will create detailed images of bones and tissues to further identify abnormalities in the neck. ----If No, Proceed to the possible common symptoms & lifestyle issues along with remedies. Have you been in a recent accident (e.g. car accident, concussion)? ------If Yes, See your doctor or seek medical care ASAP. ------If No, Do you consider yourself to have bad posture? --------If Yes, Start sitting and standing straight up, start doing more stretching or try seeing a chiropractor.

Is pain or are symptoms still present? --------------If No, You are cured since pain and discomfort are gone. --------------If Yes, Use OTC (Over-The-Counter) medication or use ice or heat therapy. Is pain or are symptoms still present? ----------------If No, You are cured since pain and discomfort are gone. ----------------If Yes, Have a checkup with your doctor or a local doctor. ------------If No, Do you have a headache? --------------If Yes, A headache along with neck pain could possibly indicate irritated nerves. Have a checkup with your doctor or a local doctor. --------------If No, Proceed to physical examinations and perform an inspection examination by physically and visually observing the neck, shoulders and posture, which tests for lesions or other similar abnormalities. Are lesions or other similar abnormalities observed? ----------------If Yes, Take needed medication for the lesions or other abnormalities for them to heal. Is there pain or are lesions or abnormalities still present? ------------------If No, You are cured since lesions and pain are gone. ------------------If Yes, Have a checkup with your doctor or a local doctor. ----------------If No, Perform a palpation examination by pressing down and feeling the neck's tissue, which tests for tightness, tenderness (inflammation) or muscle spasms in the neck.
