Neck Pain

Your neck, also called the cervical spine, starts at the base of the skull and incredibly supports the entire weight of your head, which is on an average around 12 pounds. While the cervical spine can move your head in every direction, this flexibility induces the neck to be very vulnerable to pain and injury. Neck pain can be very annoying and stressful, having varieties of causes.

Some Common Causes of Neck Pain

You need to be well aware of the causes of your neck pain because that can highly impact your treatment options. You may experience neck pain that may be mild or severe, numbing or burning. There are various reasons which trigger neck pain. These include:

Daily Life: Stress and emotional tension that you experience every day takes its toll on your body and induces your muscles to tighten and contract, resulting in pain and stiffness. Poor posture, obesity, and weak abdominal muscles are also the crucial factors which cause neck pain as they often disrupt the spine’s balance, causing your neck to bend uncomfortably to compensate. Postural stress can highly contribute to chronic neck pain with symptoms extending into the upper back and the arms.

Growing Older: Age-related disorders such as osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease directly affect the cervical spine causing immense pain.

Injury and Accidents: As your neck is very flexible and supports the head, it is extremely susceptible to injury. Motor vehicle or driving accidents, whiplash, contact sports and other falls may result in neck injury. Here your muscles react by tightening and contracting, creating muscle fatigue, which can result in pain and stiffness.
