Most of the time, neck pain presents as a sharp and sudden pain that occurs whenever you twist or move your neck.  Neck pain may lessen as relax and return to a neutral position. In many cases, your neck will have a tightness that spread into the upper back, making it tender to the touch.  Neck pain can even result in forms of headaches.

Even poor workplace ergonomics can cause neck pain. Your body is not meant to be constantly hunched over a desk or staring a computer screen, which is why these postures can cause you pain. To avoid this, make sure your chair offers good support for your back, your feet are flat on the floor, and your arms can rest on the support of your chair.
