Causes of muscle pain

Here are some common causes of headaches

Overuse injuries

Repetitive movements or excessive physical activity strains muscles, leading to micro-tears, fatigue, and pain. Common in athletes and workers performing repetitive tasks, it often requires rest and rehabilitation.

Muscle strain

Sudden overstretching or forceful contraction of a muscle can cause tears, inflammation, and pain. Strains are common in sports or heavy lifting, limiting mobility and requiring gradual recovery.

Prolonged posture

Staying in one position too long, such as slouching, places significant stress on the muscles. This leads to tension, fatigue, and pain, often in the neck shoulder and lower back

nerve compression

Compressed or irritated nerves, such as sciatica, can cause pain to radiate or refer into the muscles. This leads to aching, weakness, and discomfort in the associated muscle group, requiring targeted treatment.
