Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain can result from various factors. Understanding the cause is the first step to finding relief. Common contributors include:
Poor Posture
Sitting or standing in one position for extended periods, especially with forward head posture, can strain neck muscles.
Injury or Trauma
Sudden impacts, like whiplash, or minor strains can lead to chronic neck pain.
Muscle Tension
Tightness in the muscles, often due to stress or physical strain, can cause a stiff neck.
Overuse
Repetitive movements or prolonged use of screens can lead to soreness and pain in the neck and shoulder region.
