Neck Pain

Neck pain is becoming more and more a common complaint. And with the use of texting and watching you tube videos all day, I am seeing it in younger patients as well. The joints in the neck are very pain sensitive. They respond negatively to repetitive stress (looking down at the keyboard then up at the screen hundreds of times per day), injury (sports, motor vehicle accidents etc) or poor posture (the couch slouch as I call it)  At some point your body gives you feedback that you're doing damage and that usually takes the form of pain. Over time, those joints lose their range of motion and can deteriorate. We have all heard of "sciatica" but there are a series of nerves that travel from the neck down to specific areas of the arm and hands. A problem with your neck can create pain and loss of sensation into the arm or hands. Bulging or herniated discs, degenerative joints, sprains and strains all respond very well to Chiropractic care.
