Common Neck Pain Causes
As “exposed” as the neck is, it is susceptible to the following causes of neck pain:
Neck injury
The most common neck injury is whiplash; an injury that happens anytime the head suddenly snaps back and forth. You can get whiplash from a car accident, sports accident, or any other accident. This sudden “whipping” action misaligns vertebrae, strains muscles, and pinches nerves, causing everything from direct neck pain and stiffness to headaches, difficulty concentrating, shoulder pain, and more. Neck Adjustment Chiropractor Dr. Palmes is a whiplash expert and can help you recover.
Bad posture habits
Bad posture is notorious for causing neck pain, headaches, and even arthritis. Have you ever hung your head over your phone for long periods of time? This “forward head posture”, which is very common, pulls vertebrae out of alignment, pinches nerves, and strains the neck’s soft tissues. Chiropractic care and active attention to ergonomic ways of using technology can help you avoid these health-damaging habits.
Too much stress
Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain Relief
Chiropractic care is an excellent, drug-free pain relief option for neck pain and all the other pains that can stem from it (since your whole nervous system stems from the brain and goes through your neck). First, Chiropractor Dr. Palmes can apply gentle, precise spinal adjustments that correct your posture. And because you must be an active participant in your healing, he will also show you stretches and exercises you can do daily to bolster and rehabilitate your neck’s soft tissues, so they support correct posture. He can also give you all kinds of ergonomic advice for how to properly use your phone, sit at your desk, sit in the car, sleep in bed, stand in the kitchen… everything. You will feel so much better with this combination of natural, chiropractic neck pain relief strategies.
