Understanding Neck Pain

Neck pain is a common issue that arises from the significant weight of supporting the head and shoulders. The support and movement of the head, which weighs between 3 to 5.5 kg in adults can produce significant strain.

With 'tech neck', the head is often in a forward position for hours which can produce a great deal of pain and discomfort. When there is a loss of proper joint movement, it can irritate the spinal structures, leading to discomfort and pain.

Chiropractors often assess neck function alongside other areas, like the shoulders, to provide comprehensive care. Unlike conventional treatments that may focus solely on alleviating pain symptoms, chiropractic care aims to identify and address the root cause of the issue. By restoring proper movement and alignment, chiropractors can help relieve neck pain and improve overall function.
