Chiropractic for Neck Pain Relief

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Neck pain can develop suddenly from an injury or gradually from lifestyle habits. Common causes include:

• Poor posture – prolonged computer or phone use ("tech neck") (Posture Problems)

• Muscle strain or tension – often from stress or repetitive movements (Chronic Pain)

• Joint dysfunction – misalignment or reduced mobility in the cervical spine (What are Adjustments)

• Injury or whiplash – common in car accidents or sports (Sports Injuries)

• Degenerative changes – arthritis, disc wear, or age-related conditions (Chronic Pain)

Symptoms of Neck Pain

Neck pain can present in different ways, including:

• Stiffness or reduced range of motion

• Sharp or aching pain in the neck or shoulders

• Headaches originating from neck tension (Headaches & Migraines)

• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or hands

• Muscle spasms in the neck and upper back
