Repeated stress and strain also weakens the tissues thatmakeupadisc.When thishappens, thedisc loses itsability toabsorbshock. In turn, this causes rubbing and changes in the shape of the joints in your neck, which can be painful. Muscle Strain. When there is an injury to the neck or you overuse the shoulder and neck muscles, a strain can occur. When this happens, the neck muscles may go into spasm to help support and protect the sore area. Mechanical Neck Pain. Mechanical pain usually starts from changes in the neck joints. As discs

start tocollapse, thespacebetween theneckbones narrows, and the joints may become inflamed. The pain is usually chronic and is typically felt in the middle part of the neck. However, it may spread from the neck into the upper back or to the outside of the shoulder in some cases. Radiculopathy.
