What causes neck pain?

Neck pain can develop as a result of a wide range of conditions that affect the bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves, or joints of the neck. Discomfort typically stems from the soft tissues, either due to an anatomical abnormality, injury, or long-term wear and tear. Though uncommon, tumors or infection can occur, reducing mobility and causing pain. Neck concerns can also lead to issues in other areas of the body, including the shoulders, back, and arms.
