Neck pain and discomfort are all too common. As Dr. Amanda Ferguson of Paradise Coast Chiropractic in Naples, FL, notes, most people face occasional or persistent neck discomfort, pain, or stiffness. Fortunately, it is often possible to relieve neck pain and prevent it from returning by utilizing non-invasive, complementary chiropractic treatments.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
The neck is an area of the body that is home to an intricate combination of muscles, nerves, joints, bones, discs, and other supportive soft tissues. It is at risk of injury, trauma, or spinal misalignments, which may be complex and have widespread effects.
Common causes of neck pain include-
- A pulled muscle, which is among the most common causes of neck pain.
- Bad posture or wear caused by overuse can create enough trauma to cause neck pain.
- The intervertebral discs cushioning your spine as you move have the potential to bulge or herniate. When this happens, it often compresses a nearby nerve, generating pain and other uncomfortable sensations.
- An acute injury can cause neck pain. Examples include –
- A sports accident.
- A slip-and-fall.
- Car crashes, the most common cause of whiplash.
- A pinched nerve can cause pain/discomfort, tingling, and numbness along that nerve’s length.
- The medical condition known as arthritis happens when joints become inflamed and stiff, causing mobility issues, pain, and other symptoms.
- Osteoporosis, which can cause temporary mobility issues and a host of associated complications, is when bones become brittle and weak. Those with osteoporosis are more prone to bone fractures.
Although rare, it is noted that a benign tumor may create pain and neck stiffness as well.
