Neck and shoulder pain are common complaints. Some people experience only neck pain, or only shoulder pain, while others experience pain in both areas. Other associated symptoms can be headaches, numbness, tingling, poor sleep patterns, or more severe symptoms such as anxiety or depression. Symptoms vary from person to person. While some lead relatively normal lives, others are unable to work and are limited in their capabilities, which can particularly disrupt their quality of life.

Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than three months or continues after an injury has healed. Unlike short-term pain, it no longer serves a protective purpose and can become a long-term health condition. The pain may be constant or intermittent, ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain that limits daily activities. Over time, chronic pain can interfere with sleep, mood, concentration, work performance, and overall quality of life.
