Neck Pain: Definition, Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
What is Neck Pain?
The neck is a small area of the body that, when unwell, can cause debilitating pain. Neck pain can originate from a traumatic event, like a car accident, or from something as trivial as a bad night’s sleep. Neck pain can be a secondary complication from another ailment such as TMJ disorder, or it can precede worse maladies such as headaches or migraines. According to the American College of Rheumatology, neck pain affects at least 10% of the population each year.
