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.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

• Poor posture from desk work, driving, or phone use
• Muscle strain or overuse in the neck and upper back
• Herniated or bulging discs in the cervical spine
• Whiplash injuries from car accidents or falls
• Osteoarthritis affecting the joints of the neck

When to Seek Treatment for Neck Pain

Neck pain that lasts more than a few days, limits your range of motion, or radiates into your shoulders and arms is a sign it's time to seek professional care. Left untreated, chronic neck pain can lead to worsening joint degeneration over time.
