What Is Neck Pain?
Neck pain refers to discomfort arising from the structures of the cervical spine, including the muscles, joints, ligaments and surrounding soft tissues.
It can develop suddenly after a strain or injury, or gradually due to repeated stress on the neck. Modern lifestyles often involve long periods of sitting, working on computers or looking down at phones, which can place increased load on the neck and upper back.
Symptoms may range from mild discomfort to more persistent pain that affects daily activities such as driving, working or sleeping.
Common Symptoms
People experiencing neck pain may notice:
- Localised pain in the neck
- Pain spreading into the shoulders or upper back
- Muscle tightness or tension
- Headaches originating from the neck
- Discomfort when turning or moving the head
