Neck Pain

Causes

Neck pain can arise from a variety of causes, often related to poor posture, muscle strain, or underlying medical conditions. Common triggers include prolonged sitting or standing in one position, especially while using electronic devices, which can strain the muscles and ligaments in the neck. Other factors such as age-related wear and tear (like arthritis), herniated discs, and injuries (such as whiplash) can also contribute to neck discomfort. Additionally, stress and tension can lead to muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders, exacerbating pain. Identifying the cause of neck pain is key to effective treatment and prevention.
