What can cause neck pain?

Neck pain is often due to a muscle or soft tissue strain or even a compressed nerve. In many cases, bad posture puts excessive stress on the vertebrae and soft tissues in your neck, resulting in pain and a restricted range of motion.

Whiplash

Symptoms of a whiplash injury include neck pain, headache and neck stiffness. Recovery from whiplash depends on the individual and the extent of the injury, and can vary from a few weeks to months.

Worn Out Joints

Just like the other joints in your body, your neck joints tend to wear down with age. Osteoarthritis causes the cushions between your bones to deteriorate. Your body then forms bone spurs that affect joint motion and cause pain.

Pinched Nerve

Tech Neck

Too many hours of being on your phone can strain your tendons and muscle. Too much time hunched over anything, including your computer, can do the same thing.

What can cause back pain?

Back pain may indicate a sprain, herniated disk, or other injuries like muscle damage. This might also point to pinched nerves if followed by numbness or tingling sensation. Immediate treatment is needed to prevent and avoid further damage.

Herniated Disc

Muscle Strain

Muscle strain or lumbar strain occurs when the muscle or the tendon from the back becomes stretched or torn. This is due to lifting heavy loads or objects, standing or sitting for quite a while, or even a direct blow within the region.

Sciatica

Sciatica is a relatively common problem which leads to noticeable tingling, pain, and numbness in the back across the sciatic nerve. Your sciatic nerve are found at the bottom of the spine and across the rear of every one of your legs.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a condition in which bone tissue is not naturally replaced by your system as fast as it has to be. Because of this, bones become weaker over time, and fractures may happen more readily — sometimes simply from regular activities.
