Neck Pain

Many of us log hours behind the wheel of a car and even more hours hunched over computers, laptops, and cell phones. All of which put tremendous strain on our necks. It probably comes as no surprise that neck pain is the second most common condition chiropractors treat. While neck pain is less common than low back pain, millions of people experience neck pain and related arm pain at some stage in their lives and therefore seek chiropractic care.

Possible Causes of Neck Pain

There can be many causes for neck pain, which is why an accurate diagnosis is imperative. The complex structure of the neck, it’s ligaments, discs, and nerves, also give rise to pain as well as a multitude of different types of neck injuries.

Neck pain may arise due to a recent automobile accident, chronic issues manifested over time from an old injury, muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, or pinching of the nerves emanating from the cervical vertebrae.

The head is supported by the lower neck and upper back, and it is these areas that commonly cause neck pain. The top three joints in the neck allow for most movement of your neck and head. The lower joints in the neck and those of the upper back create a supportive structure for your head to sit on. If this support system is affected adversely, especially due to an auto accident, then the muscles in the area will tighten, bringing the cervical spine out of alignment, leading to neck pain.
