Causes of Neck Pain

There are many reasons that people experience neck pain. Some of the most common causes of neck pain include: 

• Whiplash - Whiplash is a common problem that people experience when they are involved in car accidents. Whiplash occurs when the neck muscles develop tiny tears. Whiplash also causes blurry vision, muscle stiffness, headaches, irritability, and insomnia.
• Text neck - Text neck happens when a person spends too much time looking down at mobile devices. This impacts the curve of the spine, causing headaches and muscle aches in the neck and upper shoulders.
• Subluxations - A subluxation is a condition that occurs when the vertebrae press down on the spinal cord, causing tingling and numbness.

• Spinal adjustment - Also known as spinal manipulation, this technique is effective against subluxations, text neck and whiplash. Spinal adjustment relieves pressure on the spinal cord.
