A common cause of neck pain is bad posture. Computer work and looking down at our smart phones can lead to bad posture. Looking down too often and for too long can create a loss of natural curvature in the cervical spine. This loss of curvature leads to a decreased range of motion in the neck and can cause pain over time. Chiropractic care can help restore the natural curvature. Bringing the natural curvature to the cervical spine decreases pain and increase range of motion.

Car wrecks can also cause neck pain among other issues. Not only is there an injury from an impact but car collisions can also cause a loss of curvature in the cervical spine. Impacts from air bags or hitting the headrest can lead to trauma in the neck area. An abrupt stop from an auto accident can cause muscles to strain or even tear. If you have been in a recent car wreck do not delay getting the proper treatment.

Stress causes pain in the neck by creating tight muscles over time. Tight muscles can cause misalignments in the cervical spine. Whether caused by stress from a job or a stressful season of life, worry and anxiety can play a crucial role against your health. It’s always best to eliminate the stressor if possible. Unfortunately, the elimination of stress isn’t always possible. When this is the case, seek help to support your bodies fight against stress. Chiropractic care is a great option for fighting stress and its impact on the body.
