Stop Neck Pain

Here are some of the most typical causes of neck pain: 

Injury and AccidentsA sudden forced movement of the head or neck in any direction and the resulting “rebound” in the opposite direction is known as whiplash. Severe whiplash can also be associated with injury to the intervertebral joints, discs, ligaments, muscles, and nerve roots.

Growing OlderDegenerative disorders such as osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease directly affect the spine.

• Osteoarthritisa common joint disorder, causes progressive deterioration of cartilage. The body reacts by forming bone spurs that affect joint motion. 

• Spinal stenosis causes the small nerve passageways in the vertebrae to narrow, compressing and trapping nerve roots. Stenosis may cause neck, shoulder, and arm pain, as well as numbness, when these nerves are unable to function normally.

• Degenerative disc diseasecan cause reduction in the elasticity and height of intervertebral discs. Over time, a disc may bulge or herniate causing tingling, numbness, and pain that runs into the arm. 

Daily Life:  Poor posture, obesity, and weak abdominal muscles often disrupt spinal balance, causing the neck to bend forward to compensate. Stress and emotional tension can cause muscles to tighten and contract, resulting in pain and stiffness. Postural stress can contribute to chronic neck pain with symptoms extending into the upper back and the arms. 


TREATMENT 

Chiropractic adjustments work to improve the mobility of the spine and to restore range of motion; it can also increase movement of the adjoining muscles. Patients typically notice an improved ability to turn and tilt the head, and a reduction of pain, soreness, and stiffness.
