Chiropractors understand that often life can be a pain in the neck, literally as well as metaphorically. In fact, your Grand Rapids chiropractor has been treating cervical disc injuries using his patented two-way traction devices for more than eleven years! Chiropractors are also well-aware that the emotional circumstances in one’s life that frequently feel like a “pain in the neck” may change in a heartbeat, but neck pain caused by physical stress and injury can hurt for a long time and, unfortunately, if not taken care of, such problems can get much worse. Pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness down the arm and into the fingers, in addition to pain in the immediate neck area, are common symptoms of neck injury. Furthermore, both tension headaches and head pain can often be attributed to neck problems. Finding the reason for your particular neck pain will require a thorough examination and evaluation by your chiropractor because chiropractic treatment has been found to be the most effective, non-invasive treatment that works!
Neck pain and its associated symptoms are produced by a variety of different neck conditions. The neck might sustain trauma from an accident producing strained muscles, sprained ligaments, and spinal joint injuries. Sitting at a computer and/or performing repetitive tasks can cause postural stress as well. Muscular tension and inflammation in the neck and upper back often result from such stress. Abnormal or unhealthy spinal mechanics and weak or overdeveloped muscles can add to postural stress. Other causes of neck problems are “slipped,” herniated, or ruptured cervical discs, and general aging that produces degeneration of the spinal joints and discs creating inflammation of soft tissues leading to chronic pain.
