Secrest Family Chiropractic can serve as your source for natural neck pain treatment in Scottsdale AZ.

Neck Pain's Many Possible Causes

Your neck has more moving parts to it than you might realize. This delicate arrangement of vertebrae, vertebral discs, cervical nerve roots, and major muscle groups must all work in harmony for your neck to support your head and provide a full range of motion. The complexity of the neck allows for many possible causes of neck pain, including:

• "Text neck," a muscular strain caused by constantly tilting your head downward to view digital devices
• Repetitive motion injuries caused by certain sports such as tennis
• An acute injury such as whiplash, which may damage soft tissues while also pushing the vertebrae out of position
• Bulging discs that have lost some of their height, changing the intervertebral spacing and stressing the vertebral joints
• Arthritis, spinal stenosis, and other degenerative bone/joint conditions in the cervical spine
• Herniated discs that press painfully against cervical nerve roots
• Old internal scar tissue that limits motion
• An uncorrected long-term misalignment between the skull and the upper cervical spine, which may cause neck muscle strain

You most likely don't need drugs or surgery to enjoy lasting relief from your neck pain. Here at Secrest Family Chiropractic, we can study your cervical spinal alignment and discuss the nature of your neck pain, previous neck issues, and other factors to determine precisely why your neck hurts. We can then make use of chiropractic treatments and supportive therapies. We can make small but effective adjustments to your cervical spine, normalizing your cranial and cervical alignment.
