A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck discomfort: In the absence of recent strain or other injury, lower neck tightness or aching can be due to underlying arthritis of vertebrae, poor posture, chronic tension, improper positional postures in bed, computer work, watching tv or inappropriate pillows, drafts from air conditioning or wind. Consider these causes and determine if any apply to you.
