Like most people on earth I too suffered from neck pain due to a car accident. The pain was unbearable that it made me to alter my position into a curved stance. Sudden and nasty accidents always have the habit of life changing due to pain it cause without any substitute.

Not all neck pains were same. I know my friends and relative who are suffering from neck pain. But their amount of pain, symptom and causes of pain vary diversely.

Other causes of neck pain are sleeping in a wrong position, stress and continuous strain given to the neck by sitting long hours before computer. Main causes of are neck pain are injury to neck, disc or may be of nerve problem with arthritis and neck.

Sometimes neck pain can be sharp and painful. Rarely it gets very difficult to diagnosed. Fibromyalgia is one of the more common causes of neck lasting for months.

Pain has been described by sufferers as including one or more of the following: muscle stiffness, soreness, stiff to the touch, acute pain strong enough to force the neck to turn to one side (torticollis), pain in the base of the skull, one or both-sided headaches, pain radiating down the back and/or arms, tingling arms and/or fingers and general weakness in the neck and/or arms.

Women are affected more by neck pain than men.

While most type of neck pain is more discomforting and disappears within a day or two, there are rare but potentially life-threatening situations when neck pain is a symptom of something larger.

One such condition is meningitis. This is an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord who's causes can be both viral (most common but not as devastating) and bacterial (less common but an extremely life-threatening disease).

Apart from nick pain and stiffness you should also look for rashes, pain while bending the neck, vomiting sensation and sharp back pain.

Neck pain can also signal serious issues arising from head trauma. Other symptoms to check for are headache, nausea, vomiting, loss or complications in vision, hearing or balance, pain localized behind one eye and weakness in arm and/or leg muscles.

What can one do to avoid neck pain? For pain not caused by serious neck injury or illness, it's important to try to go about your daily routine as much as possible. That is of course, unless your daily repetitive routine is the cause. It might be time to consider an ergonomic solution.

Only daily neck exercises will help you to strengthen neck muscles in the long term. Neck collar will simply weaken the muscles in neck. When you are provided with a neck collar, please only use it for few days.

An important thing to understand about pain such as this is that all the muscles around your neck, back and head are connected together. It is extremely important not to ignore those muscles. My Neck Pain Relief program addresses this in an all natural way. It's coming very soon and I hope you'll give these exercises a chance - as I did and realize there is in fact an end to such a pain in the neck!
