Common Causes of Neck Pain

​

Neck pain can arise from a variety of issues, including:

​

  • Poor posture from phone, tablet, or computer use

  • Whiplash and auto accident injuries

  • Muscle strain or tension

  • Herniated or bulging discs in the cervical spine

  • Degenerative disc disease or arthritis

  • Sports injuries

Left untreated, neck pain can worsen over time and may even cause related problems such as headaches, shoulder pain, or numbness in the arms.
