Whether you’re hunched over a desk, working in the field, or constantly on your feet, neck pain can sneak up on you and become a constant battle. From spending long hours at a computer to physically demanding jobs, modern work environments can take a toll on your neck, leaving you sore, stiff, and uncomfortable by the end of the day.
Regardless of whether you’re working at a desk, driving long hours, lifting heavy equipment, or managing tasks on your feet, neck pain can easily become a persistent problem. Dr. Pete Tsiglieris specializes in helping individuals from all types of professions find neck pain relief in Redwood City, no matter the cause.
Neck pain can stem from a variety of causes, and depending on your work environment, it might look different for each person. Here are some of the most common factors contributing to neck pain across a range of professions:
We’ve all heard of tech neck, where hours of staring at screens cause strain on your neck muscles. This happens when your head tilts forward while looking at phones, laptops, or tablets. If you work in an office, spend hours working from home, or rely on technology while on the job, this strain can cause neck stiffness and discomfort. But tech neck isn't just for office workers—any job that requires screen time, from logistics to customer service, can lead to this issue.
Jobs that involve repetitive physical movements—such as factory work, retail, construction, or healthcare—can cause neck pain. Bending, lifting, or constantly moving your head and arms in repetitive motions can strain your muscles over time. For example, nurses constantly looking down at patient charts, retail workers stocking shelves, or construction workers using heavy machinery all put their necks under stress.
If you’re in a job that requires a lot of time on the road, such as delivery drivers, truckers, or rideshare operators, prolonged periods of sitting and limited movement can cause significant strain on your neck. Long hours spent gripping the wheel, paired with poor posture or tension from navigating traffic, often lead to neck stiffness.
Stress affects everyone, no matter the job. Whether you’re managing deadlines, working in a physically demanding role, or balancing customer demands, stress tends to manifest as muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. This can be particularly true for teachers, caregivers, or service industry workers who are constantly under pressure.
If your job involves manual labor, like construction, landscaping, warehouse work, or even roles in hospitality where lifting heavy items is part of your routine, the strain on your neck and back can be significant. Improper lifting techniques or repeated motions involving heavy loads can lead to muscle strain and chronic pain over time.
