Doesyourneckhurt?Youmaybeexperiencingstress relatedneckpain.When you are under stress, the muscles of the neck, shoulders, and upper back can become tense. The muscle tension can lead to headaches and changes in posture. Let’s take a closer look at stress-related neck pain. Is My Neck Pain Caused by Stress? Pain worsened by keeping your head in one place — like when you are driving, or using a computer — is neck pain. While neck pain has many associated symptoms, the major symptoms, reported by Mayo Clinic, are: • Muscle tightness and spasms • Headaches • Decreased ability to move the head Stress-induced neck pain is not rare or psychological. Many experts think stress-induced neck pain is caused by physical factors such as overactive
muscles. If your neck pain extends from the tips of your shoulders to the base of your head, it may be stress related. Causes of Stress-Related Neck Pain While stress alone can trigger neck pain, there are also external factors that can influence your pain. Sustained postures such as sitting at a computer or driving long distances can often contribute to neck pain symptoms.There are also physiological factors such as arthritis, bulging discs, and narrowing of the spine that can contribute to neck pain. The U.S. National Library of Medicine suggests contacting a professional if you are experiencing neck pain.
