Neck pain is getting more and more common with our increased reliance on smartphones and computers. Nearly 50% of the population will experience neck pain at some point in their life. Luckily, chiropractic has been proven safe and effective at treating neck pain.

The Cause of Neck Pain

There are many causes of neck pain. Neck pain can be from something severe such as an accident, fall, or a whiplash injury, or it can be from something more minor such as poor posture. Most cases of neck pain are mechanical in nature meaning that it is likely a minor misalignment or restricted joints in the spine that are causing pain. When joints get restricted, they cause stiffness, pain, and inflammation that can irritate the nerves that lead from the neck. In severe cases, neck pain can be accompanied by numbness or tingling down the shoulders, arms and even into the hands.

In all cases of neck pain, it is important to determine what is causing your pain to quickly and effectively treat it. If you move your head up and down and side to side and notice that it feels “stuck” in one or more directions, odds are that you have some joints in your neck that aren’t moving the way they are supposed to. If left untreated, the other joints of your neck will soon begin to compensate for the lack of motion. Think of it as a boat with multiple oarsmen on each side. If one rower quits doing their job, the others are placed under additional stress and can soon become overworked.
