Postural Issues: Working in front of a computer or on a phone for long periods of time can put strain on the muscles in the neck. This is often called ‘text neck’.
Muscle Strain: Overwork, lifting heavy objects, or sleeping with the wrong pillow can cause muscle strain.
Cervical Spondylosis: Natural changes that occur in the bones and discs in the neck as we age can cause pain.
Herniated Disc: The discs between the vertebrae in the neck can become displaced or protrude, putting pressure on the nerves and causing pain.
Injuries: Falls or car accidents (such as whiplash injuries) can cause neck injuries.
Arthritis: Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis often affect the joints in the neck.
