Do you have headaches or pain in your shoulders and arms? If so, that pain could actually originate from your neck. With the increase in technology, people are spending large amounts of time using a computer, tablet, Smartphone and gaming devices. Unfortunately, many individuals are not using proper body mechanics which can cause muscle strain, and in turn cause neck pain. Neck pain can be initiated from the discs, muscles, or nerves.

The neck, or cervical spine, is made up of seven vertebrae, discs, ligaments, muscles, tendons and nerves. Neck pain can cause discomfort in the shoulders and shoulder blade, as well as the upper or lower arm. Neck pain can occur intermittently or constantly. The neck may be prone to stresses and injury due to the fact that (because) it is highly flexible. Neck pain can also develop after traumatic injuries from motor vehicle crashes as well as other sports and activities such as football, soccer, lacrosse, boxing, wrestling, and basketball.
