Neck Pain

Neck pain can range from annoying to downright debilitating. It can really slow you down and prevent you from enjoying life. It can interfere with your daily living, hobbies, work, and social engagements. When it’s acute, even small movements can hurt a lot. As it becomes chronic, your neck feels stiff, sore, and achy most of the time, even when trying to get a comfortable night’s sleep.

Our necks sacrifice stability for mobility – meaning they move very freely when healthy. This makes the neck prone to injury. Things like whiplash, poor posture, tight muscles, or joints, bulging discs, degenerating discs, or pressure on nerves can all cause neck discomfort.

Neck pain is one of the main causes of disability and can really affect the quality of your life. It can also cause headaches if left untreated.

Causes of Neck Pain

• Muscle strain or tension
• Poor posture/spinal alignment
• Injury or trauma/Sports injury
• Degenerative conditions – osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, etc.…
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Pinched nerves (numbness and tingling)
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Cervical Instability

Most Common Cause of Neck Pain

Often a common cause that we see in patients is mechanical in nature. This mean the joints either stop moving properly or there are changes in the proper alignment of the spinal bones. This causes pain and stiffness, decreased range of motion, muscle spasms or tightness, inflammation, and eventually this can cause the joints to wear down prematurely. This can irritate nearby spinal nerves.
