Brief overview
Neck Pain
Neck pain refers to discomfort in the cervical spine and surrounding muscles. It can arise from posture, joint mechanics, soft-tissue tension, prior injury, or in combination with headaches.
Neck discomfort may be associated with posture, prolonged screen use, joint restriction, muscle tension, injury, repetitive activity, or other conditions. A careful assessment helps determine which movement, neurological, or musculoskeletal factors may be involved.
Common causes
What may be driving it.
