What neck pain actually is
Neck pain is pain anywhere from the base of the skull to the top of the shoulders. It can be a stiff ache, a sharp stab, or pain that limits turning the head.
It can come from the joints of the neck, a disc, the muscles, or a nerve. Poor posture, especially from phones and screens, is a common driver. A disc or nerve problem in the neck can send pain down an arm.
Neck pain is often confused with a headache. The two are linked, because neck problems can trigger headaches. The examination shows whether the neck is the source.
How you know it is neck pain and not something else
The pattern is pain or stiffness in the neck that may be worse after sitting at a screen, sleeping in an odd position, or a sudden impact like a crash. It may come with headaches or pain that runs down an arm.
