There are several reasons why back and neck pain may occur. For example, any changes in the spine’s anatomy can lead to back pain, such as osteoarthritis, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar degenerative disc disease, or sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
One of the most common causes of neck pain is a muscle strain. This can develop from various causes, such as poor posture, whiplash, or abnormal sleeping positions. You may also experience neck pain from underlying conditions, such as a cervical herniated disc, cervical degenerative disc disease, or cervical osteoarthritis.
