What Causes Neck and Back Pain?

Both your neck and your back are complicated systems of bones, muscles, ligaments, and joints. All it takes is for one of these structures to come out of alignment or receive trauma, and the result is an incredible amount of pain.
Neck and back pain can be the result of trauma, such as a collision or fall that may occur during a car accident or sporting event. It can also be caused by diseases, such as meningitis, rheumatoid arthritis or cancer. They can also result from normal wear and tear that happens as a result of the aging process.
Many people suffer from neck and pain due to nothing more than their everyday activities. Even something as small as lifting, turning, slouching or sleeping in the wrong position can easily result in severe pain in the neck or back.
