Cervicalgia means simply a pain in the neck. cervic- means neck and -algia means pain.

Arthritis is the inflammation of a joint caused by various disorders and diseases. arthr- means joint and -itis means inflammation. Arthritis can be in any joint - your finger, hip, neck, knee, etc.

Arthritis could cause cervicalgia if it is located in the spine at the level of the vertebrae in the neck. But, other things can also cause cervicalgia, such as trauma and whiplash, sprain or strain, stress and tension, etc. and not only arthritis.

Cervicalgia would be the symptom, and arthritis would be one condition that could cause that symptom.
