What Causes Neck Pain?

Anything that strains or injures the neck can cause pain. Your pain may be the result of an auto accident injury or caused by lifestyle factors, such as poor posture or sleeping habits. A chiropractor can examine your neck and determine what's causing your pain.

What Is Text Neck?

One common source of neck pain is text neck, a repetitive stress injury caused by bending your head down to look at your phone. This position requires your neck muscles to support the weight of your head. It can leave you with sore muscles and a stiff neck.

What Are Common Symptoms of Neck Pain?

Neck pain may feel like a dull ache or a stabbing pain. In addition to pain, it's common to feel neck fatigue or have difficulty moving the neck. You may also have shoulder pain or chronic headaches.

How Can I Prevent Neck Pain?

Improving your posture is one of the most effective ways to prevent neck pain. It can also be helpful to exercise your neck and strengthen your neck and back muscles. Regular stretches can help you avoid stiff neck muscles.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

Chiropractors can make gentle adjustments that take pressure off the joints in your neck. A chiropractor can also use soft tissue therapy to relieve tension in the neck and improve circulation. These treatments can be tailored to your needs. Not only can chiropractic care be used to treat your pain, but it can help you heal from neck injuries and avoid neck pain in the future.
