What are the Common Causes of Shoulder and Neck Pain?

Six possible reasons for shoulder and neck pain

Shoulder and neck pain can be caused by various factors. Here are some common reasons:

1. Prolonged fixed posture

Prolonged sitting in front of a computer, looking down at a phone, or maintaining poor sitting posture can cause the shoulder and neck muscles to be tense for an extended period, leading to pain.

Overusing the shoulder and neck muscles or muscle imbalances (some muscles being too tense while others are weakened) can also cause pain.

4.Cervical degenerative disease.

As age increases, degenerative changes in the cervical spine may occur, such as herniated discs or bone spurs, which can compress nerve roots and cause pain.

The impact of shoulder and neck pain.

This condition mainly affects the muscles in the triangle area of the neck, shoulders, and shoulder blades. Patients may experience muscle stiffness and soreness. If you need to sit for long periods at work or perform tasks that require arm and neck movement, shoulder and neck pain may affect your work efficiency.

The pain can make it difficult to concentrate, maintain good posture, or perform specific work tasks, leading to decreased work capacity. In severe cases, shoulder and neck pain can limit mobility and affect the overall quality of life.
