What Causes Neck Pain?

Neck pain can arise from various factors, including:

• Poor Posture: Sitting for extended periods, especially with poor posture, can strain neck muscles.
• Muscle Strain: Overuse or sudden movements can lead to muscle strains.
• Injury: Accidents, such as whiplash from car accidents, can cause acute neck pain.
• Degenerative Diseases: Conditions like osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease can contribute to chronic neck pain.
• Other Health Conditions: Infections, tumors, or other health issues can also manifest as neck pain.

Chiropractic Adjustments and Complementary Therapies

Chiropractic adjustments, or spinal manipulations, are a cornerstone of our treatment for neck pain. These adjustments help to:

• Restore proper alignment to the spine.
