WHEN NECK PAIN LEADS TO HEADACHES The majority of the time, neck pain starts out as a seemingly small concern. A crick in your neck here or there may start to develop more frequently, and before you know it, your experience of neck pain is something you are dealing
with daily. It isn’t always the result of something large. While being in a car accident or experiencing another sort of injury can definitely lead to chronic neckpain, thecauseof the issue isn’talwaysassimple to identify.Sometimes it isabadhabit thatyoudon’treally think twiceabout, likeyourhabitofwatching TV as you fall asleep, keeping your neck at an odd angle as you rest for the evening,ormaybeasaresultofyourpostureasyou typeatyourdeskeveryday, hunchedoverat theshoulderswithyourneckcatching thebruntofyourslouch.
