The main causes of neck pain start with a major or minor trauma. Major traumas include auto injuries and sports injuries.
Minor traumas are typically non noticeable micro-traumas which add up over time. A few examples of minor traumas are repetitive injuries associated with abnormal positions with repetitive motion.
When either trauma exists it will most likely involve one of three tissues in the neck. The most commonly injured tissues causing neck pain are the spinal disc, the joints of the spine or pinching of the spinal nerve.
The most common symptoms from injury to these tissues involve neck pain, muscle spasm and restricted neck motion.
