Beware These Common Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain is a top cause of disability and can make even simple things like driving or getting dressed difficult. Neck pain often presents with many debilitating signs and symptoms including stiffness, headache, jaw pain and dysfunction, shoulder pain, upper back pain, and arm pain, and numbness. 

Neck pain is associated with a range of specific health conditions, including arthritis, degenerative disc disease, cervical stenosis, radiculopathy or nerve compression, facet joint lock, vertebral subluxation, whiplash, and soft tissue injuries like ligament sprains or muscle strains. Sometimes there is no clear diagnosis.

You may be more at risk for neck pain due to factors such as:

• Advancing age 
• Poor posture
• Sedentary lifestyle
• History of trauma or prior episode of neck or back pain
• Repetitive movement, especially overhead movement
• Exposure to vibration forces
