Cervicogenic headaches (originating from neck issues)
Even migraines in susceptible people
3. Shoulder Pain
Side sleepers, this one’s for you. If your pillow doesn’t fill the space between your head and the mattress, your shoulder bears the weight of your head all night.
Result: Shoulder impingement, rotator cuff issues, and that deep ache that makes reaching for things painful.
4. Upper Back Pain
Your spine is interconnected. A misaligned neck forces your upper back to compensate, leading to:
Muscle strain between shoulder blades
Tension across the upper back
Stiffness that makes turning your head difficult
5. Numbness and Tingling
Prolonged pressure on nerves can cause:
Tingling in arms and hands
Numbness in fingers
