Causes of Neck Pain

So many different factors can lead to neck pain, including posture, ergonomics, repetitive movement, age, lifestyle, and acute trauma (such as auto accident or sports injury). Common cervical neck pain diagnoses we can treat include:

  • Strains:  Muscle strains are caused by overexertion from stretching or overloading. Common cervical strains are seen in the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), trapezius, rhomboids, erector spinae, scalenes, and the levetator scauplae muscles.  This group of muscles are part of the upper back and are closely associated with the neck.
  • Sprains:  Muscle sprains are caused by injury to the ligamentous and capsular structures. Neck sprains indicate damage to the facet joints and cervical vertebrae.  Strains and sprains are often difficult to differentiate and occur simultaneously, most often due to sports injuries.
  • Degenerative disc disease:  Also known as osteoarthritis results in thinning of the spinal intervertebral discs accompanied by bone growth such as spurs or osteophytes.  This can cause pain and  stiffness in the neck and can progressively worsen.
  • Facet joint lock:  A misalignment of small joints in the neck, which can reduce range of motion, cause reflexive muscle guarding/spasms resulting in pain and stiffness.
  • Cervical radiculopathy:  This is compression of a cervical nerve root (can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in an arm or hand). The nerves from the neck travel in different distribution down into the shoulders,  arms and  hands. It is important to correctly diagnose the cause of nerve root compression or irritation to be able to formulate the appropriate treatment plan.
  • Tech neck: neck pain caused by poor posture and forward head while using phones and computers

Even factors such as poor foot and ankle position (e.g., flat feet) can exacerbate neck pain, since dysfunction and postural abnormalities all the way "downstream" can affect the position and amount of strain on your head and neck. A weak core can also contribute, since the neck will have a less stable base from which to function and support the weight of your head. Disease does not exist in a vacuum—for optimal healing, we need to assess the whole person!
