Neck Pain and Lower Back Pain The causes of neck pain vary broadly, with leading causes being inadequate ergo-nomics at work, sitting and maintaining neck posture in a nonphysiologic position forlong periods of time. Duration of symptoms may classify the neck pain as acute at lessthan 6 weeks, subacute at 3 months or less, or chronic at more than 6 months. There isan association between a shorter duration of neck pain and better prognosis for long-term outcomes.
