Causes of Cervical Pain
The underlying causes of cervical pain vary from person to person, but some of the most common include:
- Poor Posture: Prolonged slouching or sitting with improper ergonomics can place a strain on the neck muscles, leading to pain and stiffness.
- Injuries or Accidents: Whiplash from car accidents or sports injuries can damage the muscles, ligaments, or discs in the neck, leading to pain.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: As people age, the discs in the cervical spine can wear down, leading to conditions like herniated discs or osteoarthritis.
- Muscle Strain: Overuse, poor posture, or repetitive movements can strain the muscles in the neck, resulting in discomfort and tightness.
- Stress and Tension: Emotional stress often leads to muscle tension, which can manifest as neck pain or headaches.
