Posture and stress: 2 of the most common causes of muscle pain around the neck area are stress and poor posture. Visit your doctor for a posture evaluation and assessment of stress and anxiety (if present). Good posture, exercise and stress management (with exercise, meditation, relaxation) is very helpful. www.otwithmd.com.
