Because of its location and range of motion, the neck is often left unprotected and subject to injury. Pain in the back or neck area can be acute, which comes on suddenly and intensely, or chronic, which can last for weeks, months, or even years. The pain can be continuous or intermittent. Even with today's technology, the exact cause of back and neck pain can be found in few cases. In most cases, back and neck pain may be a symptom of many different causes, including any of the following: Overuse, strenuous activity, or improper use such as repetitive or heavy lifting. Trauma, injury, or fractures.
Causes of neck pain include abnormalities in the bone or joints, trauma, poor posture, degenerative diseases, and tumors.
