Causes of Neck Pain:
When you tilt your head forward or look down, this increases the weight of the neck and pressure on the neck muscles, soft tissues, and cervical vertebrae.
Neck muscles have to work to hold the head up, and the more you look down, work gets hard for muscles work to keep your head up. Over time, the repetitive strain results in soreness, stiffness, and even injury to the neck muscles and cervical spine.
