NECK PAIN

Conditions We Treat- Neck Pain and Problems

What is it?

Neck pain is just that – pain in the neck. Pain can be localized to the cervical spine or may radiate down an arm (radiculopathy). About 10% of the population has an episode of neck pain each year. Neck pain may occur slightly more frequently in women than in men.

Causes

  • Mechanical disorders associated with gradual changes associated with aging, or with overuse of the neck or arms
  • A fall or accident (even as far back as childhood)
  • A difficult birth
  • Sustained physical activity such as sitting at computer terminals for prolonged periods of time
  • Sleeping in an awkward position
  • Osteoarthritis, Herniated inter vertebral discs, Spinal stenosis
  • Whiplash and neck injury

Treatment

Chiropractic care realigns the vertebrae and removes stress from nerves.  Many patients suffering from neck problems, including whiplash, have found chiropractic to be a blessing.
