Common Causes of Pain

POOR POSTURE

Extended hours at the computer, Forward Head Posture Syndrome (FHPS), and "text neck" from frequent smartphone use place excessive strain on neck muscles, resulting in persistent pain and stiffness throughout the day.

ACCIDENTS & INJURIES

Whiplash injuries or trauma to cervical discs from accidents often result in chronic pain, significantly reduced range of motion, and persistent discomfort. These injuries may develop into long-term complications if not properly addressed.

CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS

Repetitive neck movements or maintaining poor posture over time can develop into Cumulative Trauma Disorders, causing chronic muscle tension, triggering migraines, and contributing to episodes of dizziness.

DEGENERATIVE CONDITIONS

Age-related degenerative disorders such as cervical osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and herniated discs gradually break down the structures of the cervical spine, causing chronic neck pain, stiffness, nerve compression symptoms, and decreased range of motion that typically worsens over time.

SLEEPING POSTURE

Using inappropriate pillows or maintaining poor sleeping positions disrupts the natural alignment between your neck and spine, leading to morning stiffness, persistent soreness, and compromised sleep quality that worsens overall discomfort.

STRESS

Physical and emotional stress triggers muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, creating persistent tightness, headaches, and increased sensitivity to pain. Chronic stress can amplify existing neck problems and delay recovery from other neck-related conditions.
