Neck pain

Neck pain is second to low back pain as a reason for people to seek help from a chiropractor; it happens quite frequently! There are many possible causes for neck pain; ranging from injuries to bad posture, jaw problems and muscle tension. Chiropractors often observe that neck pain is related to one of the above mentioned factors along with a problem with vertebrae in the neck. Considering the flexibility fo the neck and its relative slender structure coupled with the fact that our heads weight between 6 and 8 kgs, it is no wonder that neck problems arise. A number of professions treat neck pain but chiropractors have spent considerable time during their education mastering treating, both effectively and safely, mechanical problems in the neck as a cause of neck pain.
