What Causes Neck Pain?

The neck is an intricate system of many types of tissue and joints. When there is an injury or an imbalance with any of these parts, it can cause pain and discomfort. Let's look at some common causes of neck pain.

Spinal Misalignment: This is a very common cause of neck pain. The spine needs to be properly aligned for the muscles and surrounding tendons to work properly. When there is an imbalance, it will cause the surrounding muscles and tendons to work harder than they should. This causes muscle tension and pain. A misaligned spine will also interfere with the proper function of the spinal cord. This can cause signals from the spinal cord to misfire and cause pain.

A Slipped Disc: Between each vertebra of the spine, there is a soft gel-like pad that is designed to cushion the bones so that they do not touch each other. If you sustain an impact or an injury, this disc can slip out of place, leading to pain and a reduced range of motion.

Muscle Tension: The muscles of the neck can become tense if they are overworked, overused, or used without proper flexibility.
