What Causes Neck Pain?

  • Muscle tension: This is often caused by poor posture, stress, or sleeping in an awkward position.
  • Pinched nerves: This can be caused by a herniated disc, bone spur, or other condition that puts pressure on the nerves in the neck.
  • Arthritis: This degenerative joint disease can cause pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the neck.
  • Injury: A car accident, sports injury, or other type of trauma can cause neck pain.

  • Disc herniation: This occurs when the disc between the vertebrae in the neck ruptures.
  • Facet joint syndrome: This is a condition that causes pain and inflammation in the facet joints in the neck.
  • Neck muscle strain: This is a common type of neck pain that is caused by the overuse of the neck muscles.
