The neck is the most vulnerable part of the spine. It supports the head, maintains a gentle forward curve, allows rotation and carries nerve impulses to the head, face, arms and the rest of the body.
Neck pain can be caused by everyday activities such as watching television, using a computer, falling asleep awkwardly or whiplash. The most common cause is mechanical dysfunction of the spine, which leads the neck muscles to tighten and restrict movement in the facet joints.
Neck pain can also result from stress, which many people hold as tension in the neck and shoulders. Chiropractic care can help improve the way we deal with stress and improve overall function and structure.
Chiropractic is a natural, safe and effective approach to health and well-being.
