WHAT CAUSES NECK PAIN?
Neck pain often develops gradually—from poor posture, repetitive strain, or stress. Small spinal misalignments, tight muscles, or nerve irritation can disrupt the neck’s mobility and comfort. Understanding the root cause is essential for lasting relief.
At Gonstead Family Chiropractic, we use precise spinal analysis to identify and correct the underlying issue—so you don’t just manage symptoms, you eliminate them.
COMMON CAUSES OF NECK PAIN:
- Spinal misalignment (subluxations)
- Herniated or bulging cervical discs
- Nerve compression or radiculopathy, numbness/tingling relief
- Muscle tension or spasms from stress or repetitive strain
- Poor posture or “tech neck” from phone/computer use
- Cervicogenic headaches
- Previous injuries or age-related wear
SYMPTOMS WE TREAT:
Neck pain isn’t always confined to the neck. It can spread to shoulders, arms, or even trigger headaches.
Our patients typically report:
- Persistent neck stiffness or soreness
- Sharp or radiating pain into shoulders or arms
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in arms/hands
- Headaches, including migraine relief and cervicogenic headaches
