Whiplash
People can find it difficult to identify whether they chronically sleep improperly or if they may have had an acute injury like whiplash. While it is best to see a professional to diagnose your neck pain, a tell-tale sign can be loss of range of motion in the neck, stiffness, tenderness or pain in the shoulder/upper back/arms, or headaches (most often starting at the base of the skull). Another sign can be tingling or numbness in the arms.

The first thing people typically associate with whiplash is a bad car accident. You may be surprised to learn that even getting hit at 5kms/hr can cause whiplash - it all depends on the situation. We have seen people who have whiplash from football, boxing, riding a horse, violently sneezing, or just slipping on ice and catching your head before it hits the ground. The rapid acceleration/deceleration is a large factor which means there can be so many causes.
