We know neck pain can be so common and so frustrating. Whether it's caused by poor posture, muscle tension, or underlying spinal issues, neck pain can significantly affect your comfort and mobility. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care to address the root causes of neck pain and help you find relief. Common reasons for underlying neck pain include: * Poor Posture: Prolonged periods of sitting or standing with improper posture can add additional load onto the muscles and ligaments of the neck, leading to stiffness and discomfort. * Muscle Tension: Stress, overuse, or poor ergonomics can cause tension and tightness in the muscles of the neck, resulting in pain and restricted movement. * Spinal Misalignments: Subluxations or misalignments in the cervical spine (neck) can disrupt nerve function and blood flow, contributing to neck pain and related symptoms including headaches. * Degenerative Changes: Conditions such as arthritis or degenerative disc disease can cause wear and tear on the cervical spine over time, leading to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility and may even progress to radiating symptoms down the arms. * Trauma or Injury: Whiplash injuries from car accidents, sports injuries, or slips and falls can cause damage to the structures of the neck, resulting in acute or chronic pain. * Repetitive Strain: Activities that involve repetitive movements or heavy lifting can strain the muscles and joints of the neck, leading to pain and discomfort. At Good Bones Chiropractic, our approach to managing neck pain is focused on addressing the underlying issues contributing to your discomfort. Through gentle chiropractic adjustments, targeted soft tissue therapies, and rehabilitative exercises, we aim to restore proper alignment, alleviate pain, and improve function. We believe in empowering our patients with the knowledge and tools they need to prevent the recurrence of neck pain in the future.
