Neck pain, or cervicalgia, is something many people experience at some point in their lives—it's actually quite common, with around two-thirds of the population dealing with it at least once.

​

Although neck pain is felt in the neck, it can often be linked to other issues in the spine. For example, muscle tightness in both the neck and upper back, or pinched nerves coming from the cervical vertebrae, can lead to discomfort. Joint problems in the neck or upper back can also be culprits.

​

The neck and upper back work together to support the head, and it’s these areas that are typically responsible for neck pain. The upper three joints of the neck are responsible for most of the neck’s movement, while the lower neck joints and upper back provide a supportive structure for the head. If this support system gets disrupted, the muscles in the area can tighten up, leading to pain.

​

Chiropractic care is a great option for treating neck pain. It can help realign the spine, reduce swelling, and promote healing, making it an effective way to ease neck discomfort.
