Understanding Neck Pain
What Causes Neck Pain?
You’re not alone if you’re dealing with neck pain in Calgary. Millions of people suffer with neck pain, often without getting the care they need. The spine is one of the most complex areas of your body, with almost every systemic nerve running through it.
When cervical (neck) vertebrae become restricted or stuck, the muscles connected to that region can spasm and tighten. This creates a cycle of pain, restricted movement, and further restriction that gets worse over time if left untreated.
Common causes include poor posture (especially from desk work and looking down at phones), whiplash from car accidents, pinched nerves, herniated cervical discs, arthritis, stress-related tension, and sleeping in awkward positions.
