What Causes Upper Back and Neck Pain?

The neck is one of the most unique structures of the body. It has amazing flexibility, a wide range of motion, and the strength to support the weight of your head with very little muscular support. However, the complex mechanics and structure that are responsible for the amazing functionality of the neck also make it more vulnerable to injuries. From nutritional deficiencies to poor posture and repetitive strain, all can cause upper back and neck pain and restrict the mobility of this joint.

Some of the most common causes and risk factors of upper back and neck pain include:

  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Strenuous exercises
  • Obesity
  • Sitting for long hours
  • Muscular strain or injury
  • Joint inflammation
  • Herniated spinal disc
  • Poor posture
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Vitamin D deficiency
