What is neck pain?
Neck pain also called cervical spine pain, is a very common source of pain for the average American. It’s estimated neck pain affects 45% of workers in the United States today. Research shows chiropractic adjustments are a safe and reliable treatment for spinal pain. Pain can be experienced in the neck and into the shoulders. Some people feel the pain going upwards into the skull which can cause headaches. Others experience neck pain that radiates into the back and shoulders, sometimes down the arms into the fingers. Tingling and numbness in the shoulder, arms, hands, and fingers could accompany neck pain. Pain in the neck and spine can come from the intervertebral joints, disc, ligaments, muscles and nerve roots.
