Hello, Thanks for your query. A common cause of neck pain is muscle strain or tension. Usually, everyday activities are to blame. Such activities include bending over a desk for hours, having poor posture while watching TV or reading, placing your computer monitor too high or too low, sleeping in an uncomfortable position, or twisting and turning the neck in a jarring manner while exercising. Other causes include: Cervical arthritis or spondylosis Ruptured disk Small fractures to the spine from osteoporosis Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) Infection of the spine (osteomyelitis, diskitis, abscess) I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
