Neck Pain

It’s no surprise that many people have neck pain, whether acute or chronic. After all, the neck has to support on average 12 pounds -- which is the average weight of an adult head. Because the neck, also referred to as the cervical spine, is notably flexible and able to move in many directions, it is highly susceptible to injury and pain.

The most common causes of neck pain include:

•    sports injuries
•    whiplash caused by automobile accidents
•    degenerative disk disease
•    bulging disks
•    osteoarthritis
•    spinal stenosis
•    poor posture
•    weak abdominal muscles
•    stress and tension leading to tight neck muscles

In order to determine the cause, source, and location of your neck pain, here at TLC Holistic Wellness, we will perform both a physical (range of motion check, posture check, spine exam) and neurological examination. In some cases, we may request an MRI or X-ray. Once we have more information about the cause and severity of your neck pain, we will develop an individualized chiropractic treatment program that may include neck adjustments, core stability exercises, massage, or other physical therapy. There’s no reason for you to continuously suffer from neck pain.
