We all suffer from excruciating neck pain at one time or another. There are many causes of neck pain, but it seems like the complex and delicate nature of neck muscles as well as bone anatomy and physiology affect the occurrence of neck pain in general. In addition, activities and habits that we do on a daily basis are identified to be major influencers of neck pain.

The most common causes of neck pain are as follows:

  • Engaging in sports
  • Heavy-duty work activities
  • Leisure activities
  • Household chores
  • Sleeping position

How bad does neck pain actually feel?

Initially, neck pain can manifest itself as an annoying stiffness or a tension that doesn’t want to go away. The discomfort of early onset neck pain can limit the range of motion or movement of the neck. After a few days of localized pain, the sensation may spread and travels to other parts of the body such as in the upper arms. The pain can become excruciating.

In essence, the neck is composed of the bones and joints of the cervical spine. It also has a disc in between each vertebrae that primarily function as a shock absorber for the human body. Lastly, neck pain may also be due to muscles and ligaments that more or less help to hold the spine in one piece. One or all of the factors can contribute to the development of neck pain with varying intensities.
