How to Identify the Symptoms and Causes of Neck Pain

Poor stances while working at a PC or resting on the stomach with the neck swung to the other side are instances of constant exercises that can cause intense or incessant neck strain or neck torment.

A forceful injury, such as whiplash injury is considered a neck sprain.

Both types of injury can cause muscle spasms, limit range of motion, and inflict varying degrees of neck pain.

Here is Few Reasons:

·         Narrowing of the spinal canal (e.g., spinal stenosis)

·         Medical conditions such as arthritis, migraine headaches

·         Ergonomics in the workplace.

·         Disease (e.g., cancer)

·         Injury to the bones, joints, or ligaments

·         Vertebral compression fracture

·         Fortunately, most cases of neck strain can be successfully managed with conservative treatment.

·         Poor posture –sleeping/ working environment.

·         Herniated disc

·         Degenerative changes in the spine
