Why does my neck hurt when i tip my head back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle pain: The most likely reason is that when you tip your head back your are using extensor muscles. Most people when using computers, televisions, books use their flexion muscles . We do these activities frequently, but most of us do not do frequent activities that tip our heads back.
