Many People Assume Neck Pain Comes With Age — But This Common Cause Is Often Overlooked

In a lot of cases, the real issue is the pillow. Not just whether you use one — but whether it’s actually supporting your neck the way it should. A pillow that’s too high can push your neck into an awkward angle for hours. One that’s too flat, too soft, or worn out may let your head sink without enough support. Either way, your neck can end up spending the whole night slightly out of alignment — and that strain tends to show up by morning.
