Causes of
neck pain
- Joint restrictions
- Trapped nerves
- Tight muscles
Generally, neck stiffness and tension can build over years and turn into a persistent, or recurring problem.
The weight of our head is about the same as a bowling-ball (about 6kg!) so any repeated, or prolonged movements that we do that involve tilting the head forwards or look down can cause problems. Even those working at a desk, and not really moving their heads at all can still experience problems.
With neck pain being one of the most common problems that people see a Chiropractor for, we have become very good at helping.
By gently restoring movement into the neck joints, either carefully with our hands, or by using a light tool called an ‘activator’, we can help all ages including young children and the elderly.
These techniques reduce inflammation and nerve irritation so you can get you back to feeling, functioning and living well.
