What does having back, neck, and joint pain mean?
When you experience pain in your neck, back, or joints, it can vary from gentle discomfort to severe and incapacitating pain. It often restricts your range of movement, impairs your function, and disrupts your daily routines.
- Neck Pain: This is generally experienced in the region between your head's base and your shoulders. Common causes include pinched nerves, muscular spasms and strains, injuries like whiplash, a herniated disc, or conditions such as arthritis.
- Back Pain: Pain in the back can be located anywhere from your back's upper to lower regions. Usual cases are muscle spasms and strains, ruptured or bulging discs, compressed nerves, arthritis, skeletal irregularities or incorrect body mechanics.
- Joint Pain: This can affect any joint in your body and often results from conditions like arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis or injuries like sprains and strains.
