It can also occur over time, if you often maintain the same posture or if you make repetitive movements with your neck or with your arms over your head.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to pain, other symptoms of neck pain include stiffness, muscle tension, torticollis, headache, numbness, etc. The pain can spread to your upper back, shoulder, arm, hand and even into your fingers.<\/p>\n<h2>Location and associated symptoms<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Neck, trapezius muscles, shoulder blades<\/strong>: Often caused by muscle tension or a stiff neck.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Arm, forearm, hands (cervicobrachial pain)<\/strong>: May indicate nerve irritation or compression (e.g., a herniated disc or neuralgia).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Base of the skull<\/strong>: More commonly associated with tension headaches (<a href=\"https:\/\/physioextra.ca\/en\/condition\/headaches\/\">headaches<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Primary causes of neck pain<\/h2>\n<p>Many diagnoses are associated with neck pain.
