Could low back pain cause pain in the neck?

Question

i also have arthritis in my shoulders, would this be a reason for the neck pain?

Answer 1

IT WILL cause pain in the neck. when your stomach muscles aren't strong (lets face it your's arent) you'll have lower back problems AND neck problems. the two go hand in hand. you need strong adominal muscles to support your lower back and thus back..all the way up to your neck

Answer 2

lower back pain wont cause neck pain but the arthritis will also if you have disc pressing against spinal cord it will also cause neck pain.

Answer 3

it may be, but it can also be anything else... try wearing an 8 hour heating pad to see if the pain will decrease

Answer 4

My chronic shoulder pain cause my back muscles to knot and I tried to save my visits for "real emergencies" by not going to the chiropractor for 6 mos. and by then I had unrelenting pain in my shoulder and neck that aspirin and exercise did not help.  After he worked on my shoulder and back (released seven knots) I left the office without any more pain. ...Until next time.

About your lower back problem. It's all connected.

Answer 5

alot of times neck pain does radiate from the shoulder and vice versa. Some simple neck, shoulder, and pec minor stretches should help you out. Google the Levator and Upper Trap stretch, anterior and posterior shoulder capsule stretches, cervical isometrics, and pec minor stretches. These done a few times a day should help you out considerably!! hope this works for you and would appreciate best anwser points

Answer 6

Yes, it can be a reason!

The pain can 'travel'  up your spine.

I have old' Arthur also. In my foot! Yuk!

Hope you feel better soon!  :)
