The bones in your spine may become misaligned.  This causes severe irritation to the nervous system causing pain. Spinal misalignment also stretches and severely irritates the spinal cord & sets the stage for premature wear and tear.

Neck pain affects millions of Americans each year.   If you’ve ever woken up with a kink in your neck, suffered a whiplash injury, experienced chronic neck stiffness, felt popping and crackling whenever you move your neck around or suffer with chronic nagging pain in your neck that travels up into the back of your head, you know what I’m talking about.   It can be intensely irritating and cause a disruption in your ability to concentrate, sleep, play sports, read, do household chores or even watch TV.   The following are the most common causes of chronic neck pain:

Trauma

An auto accident, slip and fall, the birth process, a sports injury or some other type of trauma can cause damage to the bones, joints, discs, ligaments, muscles and other connective tissues of the neck.   If you’ve been involved in any kind of mishap that resulted in trauma to your neck, you must get it checked by a chiropractor.   Chiropractors are uniquely qualified to evaluate, diagnose and treat neck problems due to trauma.

Medical Approach

A common approach to treating neck pain involves going to a pharmacy for an over the counter (OCT) medication such as Tylenol, Motrin or Aleve.These medications sometimes work to offer temporary relief.  However the problem usually comes back.   At this point, many people will call their family doctor for help.  The family doctor’s typical course of action will be to prescribe more powerful medications (such as a narcotic for the pain and muscle relaxers).  Medications don’t really do much other than to mask symptoms.  They don’t actually cure you or go after the root cause of your problems.
