Find relief from Neck Pain & Stiffness

Understanding Neck Pain

Neck pain is very common and can affect people of all ages. It may feel like stiffness when turning your head, aching across the shoulders, or sharp pain with certain movements.

For many people, posture plays a major role. Long hours at a desk, driving, or looking down at phones and laptops can place extra strain on the neck. In some cases, neck pain may also contribute to headaches or cause tingling or shooting sensations down the arms and hands.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

• Muscle strain or tension from repetitive postures
• Joint stiffness or restriction in the cervical spine
• Whiplash or sudden movement injuries
• Stress-related muscle tightness
• Age-related changes, such as arthritis
• Intervertebral disc changes or herniation, which may irritate nearby nerves and sometimes cause pain into the arm
