Nowadays people work in front of a computer for hours and use mobile for a long time, due to which this problem is becoming common. Not only this they start talking by hanging mobile between ear and neck, which is not the right use of neck for the body. People often keep their necks in a not so comfortable position for a long time, which causes severe pain in neck and trouble in daily work. Another reason could be any kind of injury in your neck.
