Common Causes of Neck Pain

    Most neck pain comes from some type of physical injury that causes a misalignment of the cervical vertebrae. When the spinal bones misalign, they cause discs to bulge, pinching nerves. The pinched nerves are the cause of pain in the neck, but can also be the source of shooting pain into the shoulders, arms and hands as well as numbness and tingling. Pinched nerves in the neck are also a common cause of headaches.

     Other sources of neck pain include sprains and strains of the cervical spine. Trauma such as whiplash injuries also cause damage to the muscles and ligaments of the neck and this can also be a source of severe pain. When patients suffer with both tightness/sore muscles combined with pinched nerves from spinal misalignments, the correct therapy is essential.

Best Options for Neck Pain Relief

     Since most neck pain is musculoskeletal, the best place to start is chiropractic. A good chiropractor will address both the misalignment/pinched nerve component as well as any muscle/ligament sprain/strain. Beware of treatment plans that only address the muscular component! Misalignments in the cervical spine that go uncorrected cause accelerated wear/tear on the discs causing degenerative arthritis and chronic pain.

     Chiropractic corrects spinal misalignments to get rid of pinched nerves. This not only helps reduce the pain and inflammation in the neck but also allows the injured area to finally heal. When combined with the right therapy, most neck pain patients have great success and can avoid harmful/addictive medication or overly aggressive surgery.
