Common causes include:
- Muscle strains due to overuse or poor posture.
- Worn joints as a result of age.
- Nerve compression due to herniated discs or bone spurs.
- Traumatic accidents or falls.
- Diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or meningitis.
A qualified health professional will be able to diagnose your neck pains properly — so see one without delay.
