Cervicalgia is neck pain that occurs toward the rear or the side of the cervical (upper) spinal vertebrae. It generally is felt as discomfort or a sharp pain in the neck, upper back or shoulders. The term cervicalgia covers a broad range of neck pain causes, including whiplash, muscle strain, ligament sprain, and inflammation of the neck joints. It also can be caused by a number of issues in the region of the cervical vertebrae, including a bulging disc, a pinched nerve, narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis), spinal arthritis or degenerative disc disease.

A CFO, or Chief Financial Officer, heads the financial function in a company or a large division of a company. The CFO of a company heads both its controller and treasury functions. In many cases, the CFO has subordinates who, in turn, lead each of these principal functional areas in finance. The CFO of a division, by contrast, is effectively the head controller of that unit. There typically is no treasury function at a divisional level. When pluralized as CFOs, the abbreviation also can stand for Critical Few Objectives (in addition to Chief Financial Officers).
