What is neck pain?
Neck pain is discomfort originating in the region of your cervical spine. Your cervical spine is the part of your spine within your neck. The muscles and other structures in your neck, including your cervical spine, support the weight of your head.
What causes neck pain?
Many conditions and injuries may result in neck pain as a primary symptom, or because of an acute injury or long-term degenerative disease. A few of the most common injuries and illnesses that cause neck pain are:
- Cervical osteoarthritis
- Cervical degenerative disc disease
- Cervical herniated disc
- Muscle or tendon strains
- Ligament sprains
- Fibromyalgia
- Spondylolisthesis
Injuries like sprains and strains in the neck region often come from sudden or repetitive movements, like turning your head, nodding, jerking. You might also develop injuries from carrying poor posture or from sleeping in an unusual position. In many cases, neck pain from injuries goes away with some rest and home care.
