Neck Pain

Neck Pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by problems related to the spinal cord. This means Neck Pain can be caused by tight muscles in the upper back as well as in the neck. Joints in the neck and upper back can stiffen and cause neck pain as well. The most common long-term cause for neck pain is osteoarthritis, and this results in the neck being the most common area for spinal surgery.
