Signs and Symptoms Associated With Neck Pain

Neck pain can be acute or chronic (lasting 3 months or more). Symptoms may come and go, depending on things like relative stress, the time of day, or activity. Common symptoms include:

• Neck pain and stiffness
• Shoulder pain and stiffness
• Arm numbness and tingling
• Headaches
• Jaw pain 

Common Risk Factors and Causes of Neck Pain

While women tend to experience neck pain more frequently than men, anyone may develop it, especially if they have one or some of the following risk factors:

• Stress
• Poor posture while working, driving, sleeping, or sitting/standing
• Repetitive movement, especially overhead or lifting movements
• Auto accidents and other types of trauma

As for the specific cause of neck pain, these generally include mechanical issues such as joint misalignments (called subluxations), muscle strains, ligament sprains, or disc injuries (e.g., degenerative disc disease, herniation, or bulge). If a nerve root in the cervical spine becomes pinched by an injured joint or disc, symptoms in the arm can develop. 

Chronic conditions more common with advancing age, such as osteoarthritis and cervical stenosis, may also lead to neck pain.
