Muscle or Myofacial pain in the head is when the muscles in the back of the head pain and tense up.

Most commonly caused by stress, also could be caused by whiplash, or even sleeping on a specific area of the neck in a way that caused the muscles in the back of the head to tense up.

Myofacial pain may develop from a muscle injury or from excessive strain on a particular muscle or a group of muscles, ligament or tendon.

Other causes include:

-Injury to inter-vertebral disc.

-General fatigue.

-Repetitive motions.

-Medical conditions (from heart attack to stomach irritation).

-Lack of activity (such as a broken limb in a sling or cast).
