Why Neck Pain Happens
Neck pain often develops from everyday habits and stresses, including:
- Poor posture at work or study
- Long hours at the desk or computer
- Muscle tension from stress
- Whiplash or sudden injury
- Age‑related changes in the spine such as arthritis
- Repetitive strain from phone or device use
These issues can irritate joints, muscles, or nerves in the cervical spine, leading to stiffness, pain, or headaches.
