Muscle / tendon is twisted i.e. pulled or pushed awkwardly by wrong posture or accidently, this muscle / tendon goes into neuromuscular spasm.

Other Cause of Cervical Pain or Cervical Spondylosis.

Aging is the major factor for developing cervical osteoarthritis (cervical spondylosis). In most people older than age 50, the discs between the vertebrae become less spongy and provide less of a cushion. Bones and ligaments get thicker, encroaching on the space of the spinal canal.

Another factor might be a previous injury to the neck, Muscle / tendon is twisted i.e. pulled or pushed awkwardly by wrong posture or accidently, this muscle / tendon goes into neuromuscular spasm. People in certain occupations or who perform specific activities -- such as gymnasts or other athletes -- may put more stress on their necks.

Poor posture might also play a role in the development of spinal changes that result in cervical spondylosis.
