Upper back and neck pain can come on in many different ways. Perhaps you made a sudden movement that caused the area to feel jarred or twinge with pain. Or maybe you’ve felt discomfort for some time. It may be that you simply woke up with back, neck and shoulder pain. It’s an increasingly common problem today, particularly since we have become more sedentary and desk-bound
