What Causes Neck Pain?

There are several factors that contribute to neck pain, including supporting and balancing the weight of your head.  Other factors that can strain your neck are: regular wear and tear, injuries, stress, tension, and poor posture.  Because your neck is aligned in a natural curve at the top of your spine, damage to it can cause painful problems. Chiropractors are also specialized in caring for victims of whiplash.

Characteristics of an Unhealthy Neck

• Vertebrae that are misaligned
• The supportive neck muscles are stretched, torn, or tight
• Torn ligaments
• Pinched, irritated, or stretched nerves
• Bulged, ruptured, or worn down discs
