What’s the reason for my neck pain?
There are a number of reasons why neck pain may occur. When someone experiences neck pain, it typically runs from the base of their skull to the top of their shoulder blades, finally settling in the back of the neck. The pain can vary in severity, from a constant dull ache to sharp and stabbing pains. Neck pain can sometimes include additional symptoms, including but not limited to:
- Headaches
- Inability to fully stand up or sit up straight
- Stiffness and muscle tightness in the upper body
- Loss of sleep due to pain and discomfort
- Discomfort and pain when remaining in the same position for too long
- Numbness or tingling into the upper extremities
- Arm weakness
