The experience of neck pain can vary from patient to patient. Some common symptoms include:

• Aching or stiffness in the neck muscles
• Reduced range of motion when turning or tilting your head
• Headaches, including migraines
• Pain spreading to the upper back or shoulders
• Difficulty sleeping due to discomfort
• Tingling or numbness sensation radiating down the arms and hand(in some cases)

Anyone can experience neck pain but people with certain factors have increased risk, such as:

• Poor posture: Hunching while sitting, standing, or sleeping strains the neck muscles.
• Age: Degenerative changes in the spine become more common with age.
• Occupations: Jobs requiring prolonged sitting, awkward postures, or repetitive motions can contribute to neck pain.
• Injuries: Trauma from car accidents, sports injuries, or falls can damage the neck’s structures.
• Stress: Muscle tension related to stress can show up as neck pain.

Several factors can contribute to neck pain. These may include:

• Muscle strain: Overuse, poor posture, or sudden jerks can cause muscle strain in the neck.
• Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the neck joints can cause pain and stiffness.
• Herniated disc: A bulging or ruptured disc in the neck can press on nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
• Spondylosis: This age-related condition involves bone spurs developing in the neck vertebrae, potentially leading to pain and stiffness.
• Cervical radiculopathy: When a pinched nerve in the neck irritates the radiating nerve roots, it can cause pain or numbness in the hand.
