Many patients experience stiffness, tightness, or pain that can spread into the shoulders or upper back. Symptoms can develop suddenly or gradually over time.
Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve.
This can develop for a number of reasons, including:
Muscle strain or tension
Joint restriction (facet joint irritation)
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
“Tech neck” from phones and screens
Disc irritation or bulge
Nerve irritation or compression (cervical radiculopathy)
Whiplash or sudden injury
Repetitive strain
Osteoarthritis and age-related changes
Cervical spondylosis (degenerative changes in the neck)
Stress-related muscle tension
Poor sleeping position or pillow support
Previous injuries that have not fully resolved
Neck pain is often influenced by how you move and position your body throughout the day.
One of the most important things to remember is:
Keep the neck gently moving within comfortable limits
Avoid holding the neck stiff for long periods
Change positions regularly
Use movement to reduce tension rather than resisting it
Change position every 20–30 minutes
Avoid prolonged sitting, especially with poor posture
Keep gently moving throughout the day
Avoiding movement or holding the neck stiff can often make symptoms worse over time.
It is also important not to fight the pain. When you tense against discomfort, the muscles around the neck can tighten further, creating a cycle of pain and restriction. This can lead to a pattern where:
Pain causes tension
Tension reduces movement
Tension reduces movement
