NECK PAIN RELIEF THROUGH CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Are you currently experiencing discomfort and neck pain? You’re not alone. Neck pain is a common health issue, with up to 70% of people worldwide experiencing neck pain at least once in their lives1. It often leads to referred pain into the arms, chest and shoulders as well as sensations of tingling and numbness. Besides lower back pain, neck pain treatment ranks as the second most prevalent reason individuals visit our clinic.
What Causes Neck Pain?
On average, the human head weighs about 4 kg. As it deviates from its natural midline, the pressure and tension on our neck and shoulders increase to support it. This strain can lead to muscle pain and discomfort over time.
Take a moment to consider your neck’s position as you read this. Is your head tilted downward, focusing on your phone, or perhaps leaning forward toward the computer screen? Have you been experiencing any of the below recently:
- Injury (past or recent)
- Poor sleeping habits
- Stress
- Dehydration
As you can see from the list above, neck pain is not black and white. Therefore, here at LIFE Chiropractic Bundall we use a holistic approach to pinpoint the true source of your neck pain. We do this, so you can make the appropriate changes in your lifestyle in order to feel better and see long term results.
