What Causes Upper Neck Pain? (And Headaches!)

To fix upper neck pain (and any associated headaches) the first step is to avoid the cause—else it’ll just keep coming back. Holding your head in a rotated position for a prolonged period of time is the most common cause of jammed spinal joints and muscle tightness in this area, so here are the most common, day to day things that cause pain in the upper neck. (Plus a quick bit about what you can do to get some relief).

I've spent thousands on physical therapy and I've watched numerous videos and tried several exercises and I feel like I get more out of this simple video then all of that combined! Thank you!

Thanks for keeping short and straight to it without all that other filler junk.

Neck pain, shoulder blade pain, eyes hurt, migraine 5days long . Excercise neck movement ....just hearing cracks like sands in my neckbone 😢

Best video on neck pain that I’ve found on YouTube - quick and to the point. Your whole channel is great and you deserve way more subscribers!

This is an excellent video. This I state as both a medical doctor, specializing in chronic pain and spinal disorders, and a person that has dealt with chronic neck pain my entire adult life. Well done!

I just found your video. I have had neck problems since 1992 I had a fusion of c 5-6 in 2007 and
I still have chronic pain from my shoulder/neck it goes now up to my ear area and into my head now as well. It's like one big muscle spasm. I think ive tried everything there is. Maybe, I'll get some relief from one of your videos 😊

You sir are an absolute gem, thank you so much for this video.

Short and very helpful indeed. Neck pain headaches feel like migraines, coming and going throughout the day with dull aches all over the head. Thanks for these tips!

[karenzshea]

This was exactly what I was looking for. I sometimes let my head fall to the side when I'm sleeping on my back and this absolutely explains why I so easily tweak my neck there in the morning after. Cheers!

I recently started experiencing this issues of neck pain and headaches very often 😢. I have been suffering from this sinuses for long now and I only have to sleep facing up or sides. I always wake up with stiff neck pain and this terrible headache behind my left ear side. It’s so so sore and I had to take pain killers most times 😢😢.. I think this clip explains it all 😢😢🙏

[gregwhitburn]

Another great video! I had been doing the neck rotation exercises, and suspected they weren’t great for me. Will try these new ones, cheers!

[FairladyS]

Thankyou. Straight to the point, no show boating.

[wxgxmlp]

OMG, God bless you, it was my problem. Thank you for the advice.

[ghostparty]

Thanks, Ive been trying to fix my occipital pain by turning my head... Not helping. Now I get why. Starting a new routine today😋

But sleeping in the bad positions is soooo comfy, even if I wake up with my neck at a 90 degree angle lol. I am going to try and stop doing it though, health comes first!
