A member asked:
Please explain why does my neck hurt when doing handstands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extending Neck?: Not sure how you do handstands, but maybe your extending your neck too much. Alternatively your whole body is now pushing down onto your neck and shoulders as gravity places it hold on you. This could result in compression of some lower neck spinal discs.
