Neck pain is very common. It can come from any part of the neck — muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments or nerves — and it can also start in the shoulder, jaw, head or upper arms.
Common causes
- Muscle strain or tension, most often from overuse, such as sitting at a computer too long. Sleeping in an awkward position or overdoing exercise can also strain the neck muscles.
- Falls and accidents, car crashes included.
- Whiplash, a soft-tissue injury of the neck, also called neck sprain or strain.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the cause. It may include ice, pain relievers, physical therapy or a cervical collar. Surgery is rarely needed.
