The most frequent reason for a neck injury is trauma. Any strike or fall that injures any portion of the neck is considered a trauma. It can also be brought on by illnesses, including arthritis, cancer, or infections that harm any of the structures in your neck. Minor events like strains, sprains, and spasms can result in neck injury. Injuries can arise from a stiff neck, misuse, overuse, or normal wear and tear.
Your neck may occasionally sustain injury from a disease process that originates elsewhere in your body. These conditions can occur throughout your spine, affecting both the vertebrae and the robust muscles responsible for supporting and facilitating movement in your head.

Some of these conditions include:

- Osteoarthritis
- Disc problems, such as herniated discs
- Acute trauma or a spinal cord injury
- Meningitis
- Tumors
- Bone defects


Common Symptoms of Neck Injuries
Pain is a common symptom of injuries, and is a crucial indicator for doctors to pinpoint a diagnosis. The type and intensity of pain can provide valuable clues about the underlying cause. Sudden, sharp pain typically suggests a different cause than persistent, dull pain. Additionally, associated symptoms and the location of pain can help identify the root issue.

Additional neck injury symptoms include:

- Headaches
- Muscle spasms
- Loss of sensation, weakness, and pins and needles in your
neck or limbs
- Difficulty gripping objects with your hands or lifting items
- Reduced shoulder or arm mobility
