Neck Pain

The Complexity of the Neck

The seven vertebrae that support the neck are known as the cervical spine, and it is by far the most flexible part of the spinal column—and the most utilized. The neck is constantly in use and supports the weight of the head, which is an astonishing ten pounds on average. There are numerous nerve roots in the neck that control sensation and movement of the wrists, hands, shoulders, arms, larynx, and esophagus, so even a slight impingement can source an array of side effects and symptoms throughout the body. Because of its complexity and workload, having a pain in the neck is rather common and can happen for a number of reasons according to our neck pain doctor.

Common Neck Pain Conditions We Treat at Balanced Health Medical

Our experienced team of doctors offers a multidisciplinary array of medical services and chiropractic services to treat the most common types of neck pain. These include the following.

Neck Strains and Sprains

Neck strains involve muscles that are irritated or overstretched, and neck sprains involve the tearing of the ligaments. Sprains are often caused by a sudden injury or impact due to an accident at work, on the job, or during sporting activities. Overuse, repetitive motion of the neck and sleeping too long in an awkward position are often the culprits of neck strains.

Neck Pain and Postural Issues

Our neck pain specialist sees many patients with issues that are due to improper posture. If you slouch when sitting, droop your shoulders frequently or look down at your cell phone or computer for hour upon hour every day, then neck pain can creep up on you. Our neck pain doctor will help alleviate your discomfort and offer postural screenings to determine any issues and offer educated lifestyle advice to help prevent recurrences of neck pain.

Cervical Radiculopathy

When the nerve root of the cervical spine becomes impinged, it can send a radiating pain through the neck, shoulders, upper back. Furthermore, cervical radiculopathy distresses connected nerve endings which can result in weakness, numbness, and tingling in the hands and fingers.

Whiplash Neck Injuries

Most commonly the result of rear-end car collisions and sports injuries, whiplash can source severe neck stiffness, pain, dizziness, and headaches. That sudden jolt of the head thrusting backward and forward can tear sensitive soft tissues in the neck, and symptoms may take days or weeks to notice. This is why coming to see a medical professional and a chiropractor immediately after such an injury is essential. We offer same day appointments, and always have time to meet your needs.

Cervical Spondylosis

Commonly known as cervical osteoarthritis, this condition causes pain and stiffness and is typically a degenerative one that causes the deterioration of the discs and joints of the neck. Wear and tear of the neck can break down cartilage, so it can occur in younger adults with active lifestyles.

Tension Headaches and Migraines

Tension headaches and migraines are often a side effect of neck injuries. Tension headaches result when the muscles of the neck and head contract and this is the most common type of headache. Migraines are typically debilitating and can come on suddenly, lasting for hours or even days.
