Neck pain

​

Neck pain is a common reason people visit their doctor. Neck pain typically doesn't start from a single injury. Instead, the problem usually develops over time from the stress and strain of daily activities. Eventually, the parts of the spine begin to degenerate. The degeneration or disc herniation can become a source of neck pain.

​

There are many causes of neck pain. Most neck problems happen after years of wear and tear on the parts of the cervical spine. The muscles have been pulled or injured may cause neck pain due to repetitive motion of neck muscles. Other than that, the problem may be coming from irritation or injury in other spine tissues, such as the disc or ligaments. When this happens, the neck muscles may go into spasm and patient might feel pain and sore in these areas.
