Neck pain | ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA

Pain in the neck is a very common complaint. Because of poor posture (whether it’s hunching over your workbench or leaning over your computer), neck muscles can be strained. There are many other lifestyle-related causes of neck pain.

Neck pain can rarely be a sign or symptom of a more severe problem. Seek medical care when numbness or lack of strength in your arms or hands follows your neck pain or if you have sharp pain in your shoulder or leg.

Signs and symptoms of neck pain include:

• Pain that often gets worse by keeping your head in one place for long periods of time, such as when driving or doing computer work.
• Headache
• Decreased ability to move your head
• Muscle tightness and spasms
