Neck Pain
The neck, or cervical spine, is made up of seven vertebrae, supported by muscles, ligaments, discs and nerves. Pain in this region can arise from many sources and may be related to posture, movement patterns, stress or injury. Neck pain can also cause headaches, arm pain and pins and needles, depending on the structures involved.
- Poor posture during prolonged sitting or screen use
- Muscle strain from sudden or awkward movements
- Cervical disc bulge or herniation
- Joint stiffness or degeneration
- Whiplash following a motor vehicle accident
- Nerve irritation causing radiating arm symptoms
- Stress and tension contributing to muscle overactivity
- Aching or sharp pain in the neck
- Stiffness and restricted range of movement
- Headaches originating from the neck
- Pain, numbness or tingling radiating into the arm or hand
- Muscle spasm in the neck and upper back
- Pain that worsens after prolonged sitting or screen use
