Pain Management Specialist Questions Neck spasms

What causes neck spasms?

I have no history of back trouble, but recently my neck has started going into severe spasms. It doesn't seem to be connected with exercise or exertion at all. Is this a real problem? What causes neck spasms?

Neck spasm mostly because you have a poor posture, especially if you sit in front of the computer too long. Sometimes a bad pillow can cause your neck muscle spasm as well. Over use, injury, and stress also can cause neck muscle spasm. Heating pad, neck massage, or pain patch will do the trick. If it continues to spasm, you will develop neck pain.
