Seeking a chiropractor for neck pain?

The neck is a complex area and one of the most common areas of complaint things we see in the clinic. The 7 cervical vertebrae (bones of the spine) are stacked on top of each other with discs in between them and are bound by ligaments for passive stability. The nerves that go to your shoulders, arms, and hands come all the way from your neck. Your neck muscles move your head and neck. They also maintain your posture by supporting the weight of your head which weighs, on average, 4-5 kilograms! Not only this, the neck is also a very mobile part of the body. It is no wonder that neck problems are so common, and our neck pain chiropractors are here to help.

What causes neck pain?

Neck discomfort is often caused by excessive muscular and tendon tension in the cervical region. Misalignment of the neck can lead to head tilting to one side or forwards, and is frequently associated with neck pain. This condition is commonly referred to as “text neck” and is caused by spending too much time looking down at your phone, tablet, or other electronic devices. When you’re looking down, you’re bending your neck forward and putting a lot of stress on the muscles and ligaments in your neck. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and headaches.

Incorrect posture
Working in the same position for long periods of time
Working in an uncomfortable position
Wear and tear of the neck
Whiplash after an accident

By addressing these factors and taking steps to improve your posture and work environment, you can help reduce your risk of developing neck pain.

Neck pain can be caused by a variety of factors. Our team at TOPCHIRO Pickering is ready to help whenever you are ready to get back to living your best life.
