Chiropractic and Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common condition seen among adults and children alike. Whether it be from sitting long hours at the office desk or studying, our necks experience a lot of stress from these day to day activities. People often experience neck pain and/or tightness on one or both sides of the neck.

Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain is often caused by nerve interference from misalignments/subluxations in the spine. These misalignments/subluxations occur from many areas of our lifestyle including:

  • Poor Posture
  • Prolonged Sitting
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Strenuous exercise
  • Sports Injuries
  • Birth Process

Neck pain can also be caused by degeneration in the cervical spine itself. This can lead to disc herniations which is often the reason why people begin to experience radiating pain and/or numbness down one or both arms.

It can often be accompanied by:

  • Headaches (tension or migraine)
  • Tightness in the shoulders /trap area
  • Numbness/tingling in one or both arms
  • Weakness in one or both arms

How Chiropractic can help

From babies to seniors, Chiropractic is safe for all ages and stages of life. It offers an effective and natural solution to neck pain and many other health ailments.  Chiropractic adjustments help to gently realign the spine to take pressure off of the affected nerves which decreases pain and increases mobility. Depending on the degree and severity of one’s examination findings, a Chiropractor may take x-rays in order to further understand any issues to the bones, discs, and joints that may be occurring.
