What is Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages and activity levels. It may develop suddenly after an injury or strain, or gradually due to poor posture, prolonged screen use, stress, or joint and muscle stiffness. Neck pain can cause discomfort, reduced range of motion, headaches, or pain that radiates into the shoulders or upper back, making everyday activities difficult.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain can result from a variety of factors, including muscle tension, joint dysfunction, postural strain, repetitive movements, or degenerative changes in the cervical spine. Prolonged sitting, computer or phone use, stress-related muscle tightness, and previous injuries such as whiplash can all contribute to ongoing neck discomfort.
