Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common condition that will affect most people at some point in their lives. Many different things can cause neck pain, which is usually not the sign of a more serious condition.
The pain often spreads from the neck towards the shoulders or upper back, and it often causes headaches.
Common causes of neck pain include:
- Poor posture (the way your body is positioned when standing or sitting)
- Sleeping in an awkward position
- Tension
- Injury such as muscle strain
- Prolonged use of a desktop or laptop
- Arthritis
- Wear and tear in the bones of the neck, which is a normal part of ageing
