Neck pain in women is often induced by muscle strain, tendonitis, arthritis or a condition called frozen shoulder. In frozen shoulder, the shoulder gets stiff and can not move freely. Fibromylagia can also be another cause of neck pain.

To understand why neck pain occurs, it’s useful to think of the neck as a type of “ball and socket” construction that is held together by muscles, tendons and ligaments. These structures allow the neck a wide range of motion but also keep it stable.
