Your neck is the most vulnerable part of your spine. This is partly due to the excess weight of your head it carries at all times, and partly due to the free flow of nerves it must allow for, travelling to your head, hands, face, and all around your body.
This makes a healthy and happy neck very important as, aside from being painful, discomforting and irritating, neck pain can also be a sign that something is wrong.
If you’ve suffered from neck and shoulder pain in the past or are suffering from it now, then you’re definitely not alone. Neck and shoulder pain is actually an extremely common problem, and one that two thirds of the population have to deal with at some point in their lives.
In fact, if left untreated neck and shoulder pain can result in a whole host of other issues. Pain in the arms and in the shoulder blades are common symptoms of chronic neck and shoulder pain. You may also find yourself suffering from frequent headaches too, and even pins and needles in the fingers, which can be distracting and irritating. Needless to say, neck and shoulder pain can be a pretty serious problem.
However, the worst thing you can do when experiencing this type of health problem is to ignore it. This can cause it to worsen over time. Instead, seek the help of our specialist chiropractic team who can treat not only the pain but also the underlying problem.
The specific Chiropractic adjustments we offer can help increase the motion of the spine. They can also help reduce the involvement of the nerves as well as the tension of the surrounding muscles. By applying these treatments, we can tackle your pain at the source, making it much less likely to return.
Through these adjustments, your pain will ease and your body can start to recover. By completing a thorough examination, we can reveal the likely cause – or causes – of your neck and shoulder pain, and therefore suggest the best approach for you to achieve optimum results.
