Neck pain is one of the most common complaints patients bring to chiropractors, and it’s no surprise. Long hours at a desk, constant smartphone use, and poor posture can all add up to chronic discomfort.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Most cases of neck pain are mechanical in nature. This means they result from issues with spinal alignment, muscle tension, or nerve irritation. Poor posture, especially “tech neck” from looking down at phones or laptops, is a leading cause. Other common culprits include:
- Whiplash injuries from car accidents
- Degenerative changes in the cervical spine
- Misalignments or subluxations of the vertebrae
- Muscle overuse or strain
How Chiropractic Can Help
Dr. Eriksen takes a personalized, hands-on approach to diagnosing and treating neck pain. Chiropractic adjustments work by realigning the cervical spine, relieving pressure on nerves and improving range of motion. In addition, treatment may include:
- Therapeutic exercises
- Posture and ergonomic coaching
- Soft tissue therapies to reduce muscle tension
Over time, consistent care not only eases current discomfort but also helps prevent future flare-ups.
When to Seek Help
If you’re experiencing frequent neck stiffness, tension headaches, or shooting pain into the shoulders or arms, it’s time for a professional evaluation. Delaying care can cause small problems to turn into chronic conditions.
