Neck pain may begin as stiffness, and gradually become uncomfortable with simple movements. Poor posture, muscle strain, or daily activities may cause chronic neck pain that can impact sleep, work, driving, and daily life. Persistent neck discomfort may require professional treatment to help address the underlying cause and improve mobility.
Understanding the Neck
The neck, or cervical spine, is made out of 7 vertebrae connected by shock-absorbing discs. The neck supports the head while allowing it to move in different directions.
Common Problems
The muscles and ligaments can be sprained, pulled or torn when they are stretched beyond their normal range of motion or subjected to sudden movement. Waking up with a stiff neck is also a common occurrence.
Common Causes
Sleeping in an awkward position, pillows that are too high or too flat, poor posture, general wear and tear. Discs also degenerate with age, losing their shock-absorbing ability and pinching the nerves.
