What Causes Neck Pain?
Not all neck pain is the same. It could start as a mild stiffness that limits your movement or as a sharp, stabbing pain that makes your daily life and ability to sleep nearly impossible.
Neck pain can also become chronic, lasting for many months, or lead to tingling or radiating pain that travels down into your shoulders, arms, and hands. It can even increase the frequency and duration of headaches or migraines.
Several factors can contribute to your neck pain, such as:
- Incorrect Posture: Leaning over a computer all day, or continually looking down at your gadgets, sometimes referred to as ‘tech neck.’
- Overexertion: Activities like lifting heavy objects, seasonal yard clean-up, or intense recreation can lead to muscle pain or strain.
- Aging: The natural degeneration or ‘wear and tear’ on our joints and spine as we age can be a factor.
- Unexpected Events: Accidents such as fender benders or falls can jolt the neck area, leading to injury.
- Fatigue and Stress: Many people suffer from tension-related strain and muscle stress in the upper shoulders and neck, which can lead to occasional neck pain.
Your neck pain and its causes are unique to you. Our team at MVPT will uncover the root cause of your pain and injury to help you return to optimal health and the activities you treasure the most.
