Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain often arises due to several common issues that affect the muscles, joints, and nerves. Some common causes include:

  • Poor posture, especially sleeping position (stomach or side sleeping), from sitting long hours with your head pushed forward while using a computer or smartphone
  • Muscle strain caused by repetitive movements or sleeping positions
  • Injuries from sudden impacts, such as whiplash sustained in a car accident
  • Degenerative conditions like arthritis or disc degeneration, which impact the joints and nerves in your neck

Recognizing the Symptoms

Neck pain can show up in many ways, ranging from a dull ache to sharp, stabbing sensations. Along with pain, you might feel stiffness or find it hard to turn your head comfortably. Some people also experience headaches beginning at the base of the skull or tingling and numbness that extend into the shoulders, arms, or hands. These symptoms tend to worsen with certain movements or when held in one position for too long.

How Chiropractic Care Provides Relief

Chiropractic care focuses on gentle, precise adjustments to ease tension and improve joint function in your neck. These adjustments help reduce nerve irritation and relieve tight muscles, which often cause pain and stiffness. Along with hands-on care, we provide guidance on exercises and posture improvements to strengthen your neck and prevent future discomfort. We also monitor your progress closely to ensure the best possible results
