This condition is probably the most common source of neck pain. Generally, mechanical neckpain occurs when one or more of the joints in the neck loses its normal joints motion [resiliencyand shock absorption]. In addition, joints dysfunction can lead to a muscle imbalance and muscle pain. Prevalence of neck pain was 57.8 percent. We found that 27.2 percent had mild pain and 30.6 percent moderate pain1 . Objectives: To determine the prevalence of mechanical neck pain among nursing staff. Methodology: Total 120 subjects nursing staff from PSH (Parul Sevashram Hospital) were taken with age between 20-50 years both male and females. Those with any previous history of injury to cervical spine, diagnosed case of cervical spondylosis and age more than 50 years were excluded.
