In the same vein as better posture, what about exercise to strengthen the neck muscles? Seems like a pretty good conservative treatment would be, "Sit up straight, don't slouch your neck, and do these exercises every other day." Seriously, this article makes it sound like treatment options are limited to "joint manipulation, lasers, NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, or surgery!" 170.142.177.238 ( talk) 16:41, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
Why is the article's main picture a depiction of a guinea pig, apparently suffering from neck pain? It's just a weird choice on so many levels, such as:
A) I find it likely that most people who search for "Neck Pain" are curious about the human condition, especially since it's difficult to diagnose the exact location of pain in the form of "aches" in animals.
B) Of all possible choices for the picture aside from a Human, guinea pigs don't have a distinctly obvious neck, at least from a visual examination. Their head appears to simply just connect to the rest of their body, without the long connecting structure people usually consider necks to be. I'm not denying that guinea pigs have necks, but they're a poor choice to use as an illustration of a neck disorder, since they well, don't really appear to have necks in a picture.
C) The picture is very ambiguous, since as a still image it doesn't indicate clearly exactly what the guinea pig is doing. Is it just tilting it's head? Is it's neck stuck in that position? Is the guinea pig in pain? Without knowing what the picture is intended to depict, it would appear to be a completely normal illustration of a healthy guinea pig.
I suggest at least changing the image to a depiction of a human, or even better a medical diagram illustrating a common cause of neck pain (i.e an x-ray like sketch, depicting the vertebrae being compressed, or something similar). 69.168.144.140 ( talk) 00:54, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
