There are many causes for neck pain, discomfort and other neck related issues.
Below are the top 3 causes of neck pain and discomfort
- Forward Head Syndrome and the loss of the natural curve in your neck. This can come from simple computer work, texting, etc.
- Past Physical Trauma like car accidents, sports and weekend warrior injuries that rotate certain vertebrae in your neck creating mal alignment and the domino effect of the neck muscles and ligaments tightening ( sometimes to the point of spasm). In many cases these traumas accumulate over time and can slowly, over time, without your awareness create enough stress and damage where all of the sudden, out of the blue, neck pain makes itself known.
- Poor Posture and other Structural Issues that create pressure to the upper neck and shoulders. For example, rib cage rotation, tucked pelvis, locking of knees and rounded shoulders, just to name a few. This too usually accumulates over time and only makes itself known once the body becomes overwhelmed and can’t handle it anymore. In other words…. pain is always the last thing to show up but the cause is there from the beginning.

Top 5 WORST Things People Typically Do To Their Neck When Trying To Avoid Pain
1. Take Drugs Or Analgesics
Taking drugs and analgesics only mask the symptoms and don’t address the actual cause of the problem allowing it to progressively degenerate and grow into a bigger problem.
2. Crack Their Own Necks
Manipulating your own neck is like cracking your knuckles. It may feel good for the moment but because you don’t know what direction the joint is misaligned, you are much more likely to create more trauma and future degeneration of the neck joints, cartilage, ligaments and adjacent nervous tissue.
3. Get Cortisone Shots
Did you know that a cortisone shot is just a high powered anti-inflammatory? If it’s job is to reduce or get rid of inflammation, then the real question should be….”what is causing the inflammation?” Secondarily, a recent study in The Lancet reported that “Although cortisone injections provide short term pain relief in a high percentage of cases, their use produces worse long-term results than other treatments – or no treatments at all.”
4. Use Heat On Their Neck
For a lot of people heat is the go to when a body part doesn’t feel right. But it is important to understand that the neck is a series of intricate joints with less soft tissue around it as compared to the lower spine. With most neck pain and discomfort, swelling is apparent. Heat, although feels good in the moment, draws more blood and fluid to those joints increasing the swelling and thus increasing the pain and the problem later.
5. Doing The “Jane Fonda” Neck Roll
Remember in the 70’s when Jane Fonda led us through a home workout. Remember how she would start every routine by tucking her chin to her chest and then rolling her head to the left and right and then all the way back. Makes me cringe just thinking about it. These, so called, neck rolls actually grind the joints and increase trauma, long-term degeneration and pain. Don’t do it. There are specific therapeutic stretches for the neck that actually decrease pain and increase the health of the neck joints. (see more on this in our “best things for neck pain”)
