Top 5 Reasons You Still Have Neck Pain

Neck pain can be incredibly frustrating, especially when stretching, heat packs, and pain meds only offer short-term relief. Here are 5 often-overlooked reasons your neck pain keeps coming back:

1. Poor Posture — Forward head posture from phones, desks, or driving puts excess strain on your neck muscles and spine.

2. Jaw Tension (TMJ) — Clenching or grinding your teeth creates deep muscular tension that radiates into your neck and shoulders.

3. Imbalanced Muscle Chains — When certain muscles are overactive or weak, your body compensates, creating tightness and pain elsewhere.

4. Unresolved Injury Patterns — Old injuries can leave behind scar tissue and altered movement patterns that continue to affect your body.

5. Stress — Emotional stress manifests physically. Your neck and shoulders often hold onto that tension subconsciously.
