Ever wake up with that one-sided neck pain and think, “Who did I fight in my sleep?” 😩
Dr. Joe breaks it down: a “kink” in your neck usually comes from irritated joints or muscles that got stuck in a bad position, often thanks to poor posture, awkward sleep angles, stress, or staring at your phone like it owes you money 📱💀
The muscles tighten up to protect the area, blood flow drops, and boom, limited movement + sharp pain when you turn your head. The good news? Most neck kinks aren’t serious and respond well to gentle movement, posture fixes, heat, and time 🙌
Moral of the story: your neck isn’t broken, it’s just cranky. Treat it nicely.
