What causes neck pain? Three reasons men must know

Many men suffer from neck pain, which is related to the hard work and high pressure they have to endure. So, what is the cause of neck pain?

Cervical spondylosis

Due to long hours of working at a desk, using a computer, sleeping with a high pillow, driving for too long, etc., the cervical spine will degenerate. When the cervical spine degenerates to a certain extent, it will cause cervical bone hyperplasia and cervical disc herniation. Bone hyperplasia and disc herniation compress the cervical nerves, muscles, ligaments, etc., which will cause neck pain.

Neck muscle strain

Neck muscle strain, also known as cervical fibromyositis, is caused by repeated acute and chronic injuries to the soft tissues of the neck, resulting in traumatic aseptic inflammation and pain in the neck muscles, which stimulate the muscles to produce a persistent state of contraction, resulting in muscle tension. Long-term muscle spasm causes local soft tissue vascular spasm, insufficient blood supply to the muscles and fascia, nutritional disorders, and worsening of tissue aseptic inflammation, thus forming a vicious cycle and making the pain more severe.

Neck injury

There are many causes of cervical spine trauma, such as car accidents, falls, collisions, etc., which damage the neck muscles and bones and cause neck pain.
