Neck Pain Causes

Neck pain can be the consequence of an activity or injury that injures the neck or by other medical problem.

Activities that lead to neck pain
Most neck pain is the result of activities that cause repeated or prolonged movements to the neck’s muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, or joints. As a result, a strain (an overstretched or overused muscle), a sprain (injury to a ligament), a spasm of the neck muscles, or inflammation of the neck joints may arise.
