Your neck is a very finicky part of the body: it's where your spine, jaw, and cranial joints converge. That's why it's difficult to pin point the cause behind your chronic neck pain.
The cervical spine (neck) is remarkably complex. It supports the weight of your head while allowing an incredible range of motion. This combination of mobility and responsibility makes it vulnerable to injury and pain.
Common causes of neck pain: - Whiplash from auto accidents - Poor posture (especially from desk work) - Degenerative disc disease - Muscle strain - Pinched nerves - Arthritis - Text neck
