Abstract

Neck pain is the third most common chronic pain condition in the United States, which in conjunction with low back pain, leads to annual healthcare expenditures approaching $90 billion. It is also the fourth leading cause of disability worldwide. It’s annual prevalence rate ranges between 15% and 50%, and lifetime prevalence rate is as common as 67%. Cervical facetogenic pain is estimated to be responsible for 36% to 60% of neck pain cases. It is more common in the lower cervical levels.
