Symptoms of Neck Pain

Neck pain can manifest in several ways, depending on the underlying cause:

• Sharp or shooting pain in the neck or shoulders.
• Dull, aching discomfort that may extend to the head, shoulders, or arms.
• Limited mobility or difficulty turning the head.
• Tingling or numbness in the arms or hands (often associated with a pinched nerve).
• Muscle stiffness or tightness in the neck.
• Headaches originating from neck tension or strain.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain can result from a variety of conditions, including:

• Herniated Disc: A disc in the cervical spine can rupture or slip, putting pressure on nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: The discs in the neck wear down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
• Muscle Strain: Poor posture, repetitive motions, or sudden movements can strain the muscles in the neck, leading to pain.
• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis in the neck joints can cause pain and stiffness, especially with age.
• Cervical Spinal Stenosis: This condition occurs when the spinal canal narrows, compressing the spinal cord or nerves and leading to pain, numbness, or tingling in the neck and arms.
• Whiplash: Sudden movements, such as those caused by car accidents, can injure the soft tissues of the neck, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion.
• Pinched Nerve: Compression of a nerve in the neck can lead to pain that radiates to the shoulders, arms, or hands.
