Neck Pain Causes & Symptoms

Neck pain is extremely common in our overworked, fast-paced society, with many of us working demanding jobs or spending several hours a day with our necks craned over our laptop or phone. Aside from these common causes, neck pain can also be caused by a sports injury, whiplash, degenerative disc disease or poor positioning of the neck while asleep.

Neck pain can leave sufferers with a stiff feeling in their necks, shooting pain, tingling, limited mobility, a frozen feeling or even difficulty with lifting heavy objects. If left to worsen, neck pain can contribute to headaches, lower back pain and facial pain. For optimal quality of life, it’s essential to effectively treat the cause of your neck pain as well as the presenting symptoms.
