Pain in the back of the neck can be manifested in different ways.First, the sensations are divided into several types (depending on the place of their manifestation:

  2. Somatically: develops as a result of spinal injuries.
  3. Central: develops as a result of damage to the central nervous system.
  4. Neuropathic: It develops due to impaired peripheral or central nervous system if they are caused by improper activity of neurons.

This can be felt as follows:
