Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common problem that can severely impact the quality of your life. It can limit your ability to be active and even cause you to miss work. There are many different causes that may lead to pain in your neck.

In many cases, neck pain is muscle-related. Muscle tension, cramps and strains can all cause discomfort. Neck pain can also be caused by compression of the spinal nerves. Herniated discs or bone growths caused by osteoarthritis can press against the nerves. Fractures of the spine can reduce the amount of space around them. This type of pain may not go away, even after weeks.
