Persistent Neck and shoulder pain.

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

I have persistent neck and shoulder pain. I have a slight hump on the base of the neck which is where the pain is concentrated at. Friends and family seem to think it could be cervical. I have not seen a doctor before. I want to know what kind of doctor to go to for this as a starting point. Should one see a Physiotherapist or an Ortho?
