What is Neck Pain?
Neck pain affects the cervical region of your spine and can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. Common causes include:
- Poor posture from prolonged sitting, computer work, or smartphone use
- Muscle strain from sudden movements, poor sleeping positions, or stress
- Herniated discs in the cervical spine that compress nerves
- Arthritis affecting the cervical joints and vertebrae
- Whiplash injuries from accidents or sports injuries
- Degenerative disc disease related to aging
Most neck pain responds well to conservative treatments like chiropractic care, posture correction, and targeted exercises.
