<\/a><\/em>There are seven small vertebrae located in the neck, or cervical spine. Because the neck supports the head, which usually weighs about twelve pounds, it can be very susceptible to injuries. The most typical causes of neck pain are:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Degenerative disorders such as osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease affect the spine directly. Whiplash is the most common neck injury and it normally occurs in car accidents. Poor posture, obesity, and weak abdominal muscles often disturb the spine. In order to compensate these issues, the neck will bend forward causing stress and tension in the muscles which causes the neck pain and stiffness.<\/p>\n

Chiropractic treatment for neck pain consists of a thorough examination, x-rays, testing range of motion and the curvature of the spine, and possible neurological tests for further diagnosis. EMG tests are common among nerve damage because it tests to see how well your nerves respond. Neck adjustments improve spine mobility and restore range of motion.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics<\/em>, patients who had severe neck pain showed a significant improvement on pain level after receiving a chiropractic manipulation. Adjustments also loosen up the joints of the vertebrae in the cervical spine, or neck, and can reduce the pain that may be caused by muscle spasms and pinched nerves.<\/p>\n

It may be necessary to do a few stretches or neck exercises at home to help the vertebrae heal quicker, along with the visits to the chiropractor. The doctor will give any helpful information that will aid in the recovery of the neck injury. The positive thing about chiropractic care is that it treats the origin, and underlying root, of the problem rather than temporarily masking up the symptoms.<\/p>\n

If there is a pinched nerve in the neck then it is very common to have shooting pain down the arms and into the hands. If neck pain is caused by normal wear and tear of everyday living then it’s never too late to start taking care of the spine. Prolonged sitting can cause weakness in the muscles that support the spine, so it’s important to get up and stretch or walk around every couple of hours throughout the day.<\/p>\n

If necessary, an orthopedic pillow will align the neck properly so there isn’t any extra stress put on the vertebrae and muscles. Chiropractic care is highly recommended for those who are suffering from neck pain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
