What Causes Neck Pain?

Nerve Compression. If you have a herniated disc in your neck or narrowing of the foramen (space where the nerves exit the spine), the nerves that branch out from your spinal cord can become compressed and irritated. In some cases, nerve pain can even extend from the neck all the way down to the hands and fingers – a condition often referred to as “radiculopathy.”

Illnesses. Certain diseases and ailments can result in neck pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis, or cancer.

Joint Degeneration. Like any other joint, the neck joints can erode with age, causing pain. Conditions such as osteoarthritis can also reduce the cartilage between the vertebrae in the neck, also resulting in neck pain.

Muscle Strains. The muscles in your neck can become strained by overuse. Even something as simple as sitting at your desk all day with your neck craned toward the computer screen can strain your neck muscles. Part of the recovery process is to focus on improving your posture.
