- forward head posture - other forms of poor posture - muscle aches from viral infections like mono, influenza, or the common cold - muscle strain - ligament sprain - side effects from a wide variety of drugs - cervical facet syndrome - torticollis - radiculopathy (often misnamed a "pinched nerve") - cervical spinal degeneration and osteoarthritis - cervical disc herniation - spinal stenosis - whiplash - cervical vertebral dislocation - fibromyalgia - meningitis - neck fracture - spinal cord tumors Ask Dr. Johnson for simple neck stretches and exercises and ergonomic tips to help you avoid neck pain.
