Neck Pain Treatments

Unfortunately, neck pain is something everyone experiences. According to Dr. Timothy Kinsella, Dr. Mark Mahoney, and Dr. Nathan Turck of Kinsella Chiropractic Clinic in Litchfield, MN, anyone can experience intermittent or chronic neck pain or stiffness simply by sleeping awkwardly. Fortunately, noninvasive chiropractic and complementary techniques offer neck pain relief.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

The neck consists of a complex combination of muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and discs. As such, it is quite vulnerable to injury, trauma, or misalignments. Neck pain may emanate from -

• A Muscle Pull – refers to an injury and is among the most common or typical neck pain causes.
• Having chronically bad posture (for example, slouching shoulders, etc.) or repetitive motion injuries can create this type of injury. 
• An injury or traumatic event – which may include a mishap, slip-and-fall, or being in a car that is rear-ended by another.
• Herniated or bulging discs – the discs between your spine's vertebrae can bulge or herniate. The result often includes a misalignment which compresses a nearby nerve, resulting in various symptoms.  
• Arthritis – is a condition that causes any joint in your body to become stiff and inflamed. The result is often increasing pain.
• Pinched Nerves are a condition when your nerves become compressed. This can cause intense pain, tingling, and numbness in the specific region and may even create pain that radiates up one or both arms.
• Osteoporosis is a medical disorder in which bones become weak and brittle and are at risk for fracture. This condition can cause a temporary mobility issue and a host of related complications.
• Tumors – while rare, a benign tumor that has not been identified may be the source of neck stiffness and pain.
