Common Causes of Neck Pain
Understanding the potential causes of neck pain can help you prevent neck pain in the future. For those already experiencing neck problems, it can be helpful to understand the causes of neck pain to identify what may have caused your condition.
Neck pain is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
Poor Posture
Poor posture is often a result of long periods of desk work or from staring down at devices for prolonged periods. In recent years, posture issues have become a leading cause of neck pain.
Muscle Strain
Frequent strain or overuse of neck muscles increases the chance of causing neck pain.
Sleeping Position
Improper sleeping positions or sleeping on an unsupportive pillow can cause neck injuries to develop, resulting in chronic pain.
Injuries
Injuries as a result of sports or work can cause severe or chronic neck pain.
Degenerative Conditions
Degenerative conditions like arthritis can develop as people age. This causes the cushioning in the neck to wear down and causes discomfort and mobility issues.
Pinched Nerves
Pinched nerves occur when the vertebrae in your neck compress or you are suffering from a herniated disc.
Stress
A typical stress response involves tightening the muscles in the neck and shoulders. The tension this causes can lead to neck pain.
