Pain can also be caused by chronic strain from prolonged poor posture or an awkward sleeping position. Cervical Spine Pathology Neck Pain Sources Causes medical illustrations. The tissues in the neck that can cause pain include bone – bruising or fractures intervertebral discs – bleeding, intradiscal circumferential tears, radial tears alone or with herniation of the disc, or disc avulsion facet joint – synovial capsule bruise or tear, bleeding, cartilage fracture spinal cord – compression, bruising, or tear nerve roots – stretching, compression, bruising, or tear ligaments and tendons – inflammation or tear muscles – inflammation or tear. Forceful injuries can cause overstretching and tearing of tissues. This leads to bleeding, inflammation and swelling over the following day or two that can cause additional pain. When there is an injury to a muscle and its adjacent structures, the muscle contracts and causes surrounding muscles to contract in an attempt to splint and protect the damaged area. This contraction can however, cause even more pain.

What causes neck pain? Explaination of how the neck works
I have a sharp pain in my neck that seems to “shoot” into my head. It’s like a mixture between a sinus headache and neck pain, but only on the right side of my head.
I have been in pain for more than 2 weeks. I thought it would go away, but I don’t even know what kind of doctor to go to.
What Causes Back Pain?
Dec 20
Back pain is a common problem affecting literally millions of people. It can range from minor, temporary pain, to sustained pain in different parts of the back, neck or shoulders or involve the pinching of nerves, affecting the legs or arms. The causes of back pain vary and can often be a combination of factors. Some of the factors identified by practitioners are set out below.
Sprains and strains An out-of-condition back or one with pre-existing problems is more vulnerable to soft tissue injuries like sprains and strains. A sprain isa joint injury that involves stretching or tearing of the ligaments. A strainisan injury to muscle or tendons. Stretching a ligament or muscle too quickly can result in a tear. Excessive force and certain repetitive use may also damage muscles.
Disc problems The intervertebral discs are the cushions between our vertebrae. These discs dry out and harden with age, making them susceptible to injury. Common disc complaints involve the disc bulging (prolapse), herniating or even rupturing.
Most disc problems arise from sustained stress or injury and may be caused by back strain (such as when lifting).
Muscle Imbalance/Poor Posture Muscle imbalances often involve certain muscles losing their natural functioning and over-working or being under utilised. This can happen as a result of lifestyle stress and bad habits of body use over a sustained period. Muscle imbalance can lead to or work in tandem with bad posture to result in such back problems as chronic lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain or frozen shoulder.
Emotional/neuromuscular causes Sustained stress or emotional trauma can cause muscular tension to be “held” unconsciously in the body leading to back pain.
Structural Problems Structural problems involving the spine can cause back pain. These include the following:
