Neck spasms are involuntary contractions of the muscles in your neck. The muscles get tight, hard, and painful...

WHAT IS THE CAUSE?

Neck spasms may happen from an injury, overuse, poor posture, or stress. For example, it is common for people who do a lot of computer work to get a stiff neck. Spasms may even occur from an uncomfortable night's sleep.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

The muscles in your neck feel hard, tight, and painful. When the muscles that extend from your shoulders to your head go into spasm, the spasms may even cause headaches. You may have tender spots in your neck, sometimes called trigger points, that cause pain in other places

Neck Spasms Treatment :
