As stress attacks your body, it becomes difficult to accomplish most anything. Your mind wanders and experience a lack of focus. Your body screams for relief in the form of headaches, migraines, muscle tension, and back and neck aches.
Nerves are like strings and when tugged at one end can create symptoms anywhere along the course of the string. Nerves originate from the spine, specifically in the neck or cervical spine for the arm.
Whiplash occurs when a person’s head moves backward and then forward suddenly with great force. This injury is most common following a rear-end car collision. It can also result from physical abuse, sports injuries, or amusement park rides.
Nerve damage and the nerve pain and symptoms associated can occur when your nerve is pinched or entrapped. Your pinched nerve usually occurs as a result of injury to structures adjacent to the nerve.

Neck Headache, or as it is known medically – Cervicogenic Headache, is a secondary headache disorder. In other words, your headache is caused by a neck joint problem.
Neck pain can be caused by trauma, inflammation and even repetitive stress on related structures. In fact, among repetitive stress injuries (RSIs), neck and shoulder pain were most common at 25%, with wrist and hand pain coming a close second at 23%. Interestingly, a large portion (55%) of RSIs occur while on the job and unfortunately some occupations are more at risk.
