Neck Pain

Poor posture can result in neck pain. The neck supports the weight of the head whilst allowing significant movement. A forward head posture, is often worsened by working at a desk or computor. For every inch the neck is head is held forward from the upright position the stress on the joints is doubled.

Restricted movement in the joints of the neck can interfere with healthy nerve function. Neck problems can  refer pain into the shoulder and arm because nerves may be trapped as they exit the spine. Arm pain will often be accompanied by numbness and pins and needles in the hand and fingers.

Chiropractors can help by treating stiffness in the joints of the neck, therefore improving movement, relieving muscle spasm, nerve irritation and pain.
