Approximately 15% of those in the USA – or 46 million Americans – suffer from neck pain, and it can be disabling for some. No matter how bad your neck pain is, it is important to seek the proper care for it as it should not be occurring. So, what causes it to happen?
Conditions with Neck Pain
The following are some conditions with neck pain as one of their main symptoms:
- Fibromyalgia: Neck pain is quite common
- Cervical spondylosis: Arthritis of the neck that happens when the discs between the vertebrae degrade gradually and cause pain
- Torticollis: When the neck becomes tilted or twisted
- Trauma: Often due to vehicle accidents, sporting injuries, or falls
- Migraines or tension headaches: Both of these have neck pain as a symptom
Of course, this is not a complete list of every condition that causes neck pain. However, it is a good indication as to the type of issues leading to neck pain. The next questions are: What can be done for neck pain, and are there any successful natural solutions?
Neck Pain Responds Positively to Upper Cervical Care
Here at Source Chiropractic and Wellness in Draper, UT, we specialize in helping people control problems that originate in the bones of the upper neck. A number of health problems have been linked to a misalignment in the C1, or atlas vertebra, because it is especially susceptible to misalignment due to its location and shape. When it is out of place, it can place the brainstem under pressure and cause the brainstem to malfunction, leading to various health problems.
The good news is this type of misalignment can be corrected with a procedure that is both gentle and precise. Once we determine the location of the problem, we encourage the bones to move back into place naturally without forcing or cracking the spine. This allows for a longer-lasting adjustment instead of a temporary fix and is often all that is needed to see relief of neck pain.
