Roughly 70% of people will suffer from either acute or chronic neck pain at some stage. Neck pain is a complex phenomenon, and may sometimes lead to other issues such as migraines, tension headaches, hearing loss, vertigo and dizziness, and other undesirable issues.
If the underlying causes of neck pain are identified, then neck pain is more likely to be effectively treated. Chiropractic care emphasises addressing the cause rather than just the symptoms of neck pain. Chiropractic care may be effective in treating neck pain, and may also help to reduce pain and restore flexibility and mobility in the neck quickly and without invasive treatment. Some studies suggest that even one chiropractic visit might be enough to help begin the healing process.
One major cause of neck pain is poor posture. Most adults spend their days sitting down, a position that encourages poor posture, and specifically poor neck posture. Poor neck posture may result in stiff neck muscles, which may pull the spine out of alignment. Fortunately, your chiropractor may be able to help reduce your neck tension and the resulting pain or discomfort you might be filling.
