Neck pain
The main causes of neck pain include cervical disc problems, arthritis, and muscle inflammation.

You will likely experience these clear symptoms:
  • Pain that intensifies in specific head positions during activities like computer work or driving
  • Distinct muscle tightness or spasms
  • Restricted neck and head movement
  • Headaches
  • High or low blood pressure
  • Dizziness

The most significant treatment challenge is this condition's established recurrence rate.

While most cases will resolve within two to four weeks without major structural complications, research shows that 80% of individuals will experience a recurrence within weeks to a year.
This medical issue affects 1 in 5 people each year. Most people wait over 6 months in pain before getting help.
