Neck pain originates from several reasons. These are the following causes:

  • Muscle and ligament strain, particularly from poor posture, or caused by an injury.
  • Sitting for long hours looking at a computer, studying, or working
  • Spend too much time looking down at your mobile device
  • Heavy School Bag for Children
  • Improper Sleeping Position

Neck pain can be self-limiting and will dissipate on its own within a few weeks at most.
However, a neck pain that is persistent requires faster intervention. Some of these complications to take note of are:

  • Repetitive motion: Those working in professions that require them to do repetitive movements often cause a strain in their neck.
  • Poor posture: A neck tension may occur when your neck muscles work too hard. This happens when muscles necessary to hold your head upright is too tensed up.

  • Improper sleep position: It is important to keep your head and neck aligned with the rest of your body while sleeping. Neck tension could be resulted from sleeping with a large pillow that is excessively elevating your neck
  • Heavy bags: When carrying a heavy bag, particularly those with straps going over your shoulder, one side of the neck could be strained which may result in a tension.
