10 Causes Of Neck Pain

Cause #8: Herniated Discs
Herniated discs and other injuries in the cervical vertebrae are common causes of chronic neck pain. When one or more cervical vertebral discs slip out of place, it can lead to inflammation of the nerves. It may also cause weakness and pain in the neck and reduce the neck’s range of motion.
The neck pain may radiate toward the shoulder blades, and it becomes worse whenever the neck is held in one position for too long. Neck pain caused by a herniated disc can be excruciating and may require surgery to correct. Other cervical injuries include cervical discogenic pain, cervical facet syndrome, and cervical strain.
