Neck pain affects 7 out of 10 people at some point in their lives and it tends to increase with age for both men and women. Neck pain often occurs as a result of a whiplash injury, such as an automobile or sports accident. It can also be caused by relatively minor incidents such as a quick head turn or a poor night’s sleep. For some people it can develop slowly over time. Neck pain can also be associated with other symptoms including limited neck movements, stiff and tight muscles, tingling in the arms or fingers and even headaches or pain spreading into the shoulders and mid-back. Most causes of neck pain are the result of lost motion in joints, overworked muscles, sprained ligaments or injured intervertebral (spinal) discs and nerves. At Chiropractic Plus, we can examine and diagnose the cause of your neck pain and offer you safe and effective therapies to help get you better and prevent future incidents.
