Request an AppointmentWhat Is Neck Pain?
The neck, or cervical spine, supports the weight of your head while allowing a wide range of motion. That combination makes it vulnerable to strain. Neck pain may come from tight muscles, restricted joints, irritated nerves, or disc problems. It often travels with headaches, shoulder pain, or tingling in the arms.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
- Forward head posture and “tech neck”
- Long hours at a desk or computer
- Stress and muscle tension
- Whiplash from car accidents
- Cervical disc herniation
- Arthritis and degeneration
- Sleeping in an awkward position
Signs and Symptoms
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Aching or sharp neck pain
- Headaches starting at the base of the skull
- Pain spreading into the shoulders or upper back
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
- Muscle spasms
