Causes of neck pain from the back
There are many reasons for increased feeling of neck pain in the back, including:
1- Muscle tension
Muscle tension is one of the most common causes of neck pain in the back. Muscle tension often occurs as a result of sitting for long periods in an uncomfortable position, or making repetitive incorrect neck movements, which causes inflammation and irritation of the surrounding muscles and ligaments and then pain.
2- Injuries
Injuries, including accidents or sports injuries, may cause neck pain in the back as a result of tears or stretching of the muscles or ligaments in the neck. This often occurs when exposed to sudden movements or external force affecting the neck.
3- Arthritis
The results of some studies have shown that arthritis can develop significantly and reach the cervical joints, thus causing a significant increase in the feeling of neck pain in the back and stiffness in movement.
4- Heart attack
Neck pain in the back can be considered a symptom of a heart attack, as the pain is accompanied by some other symptoms, such as shortness of breath, increased sweating, nausea, vomiting, and arm pain. Therefore, it is necessary to consult a specialist doctor immediately when these symptoms appear.
5- Structural disorders
Some people may have structural abnormalities in the spine, such as abnormal curvatures or poor bone fixation, which cause increased pain in the back of the neck and may last a long time.
