Did you know that the average human head weighs between 10 and 11 pounds? That’s a lot of weight for seven small vertebrae to hold up! No wonder so many people have neck pain!
Your neck is actually the most vulnerable part of your spine. It maintains a gentle forward curve that allows for head rotation and the free flow of nerve impulses going to the head, face, hands and the rest of your body. If you are experiencing chronic neck pain, something is wrong. We can help you address the issue and lead you back to a pain-free life.
Our everyday lives make us prime candidates for altering the curvature of the neck and creating issues that result in pain. Watching television, looking down at a cell phone, sitting all day and improper posture can all result in distortions of your cervical spine and cause neck pain.
The problem isn’t always in the neck area, however. We have treated patients who have issues in the alignment of their hips, knees, feet, or lower back which are causing the neck pain. If you are experiencing chronic neck pain, something is wrong. We can help you address the issue and lead you back to a pain-free life.
