The neck is a complex and intricate system that not only provides movement of our head but also provides information to create stability of our eyes, maintain appropriate posture and influence our balance. The mobile nature of the neck means that it is prone to strain and injury of the muscles, joints, disc, and nerves.
This can occur with acute injury such as a whiplash from a motor vehicle accident or sporting incident like a strong tackle or fall, or more commonly from prolonged stationary posture like hunched computer work or looking at a phone. Sleeping position and positions on the couch can also lead to problems arising in the neck.
Common symptoms that occur with neck pain is muscle stiffness and tightness of the shoulders, headache, jaw pain, poor posture and symptoms into the arms and hands such as weakness, numbness and pins and needles. The spine can be thought of as one long sensory organ therefore pain in the neck can also create problems in the middle and lower back which is why the chiropractor will assess your whole spine and the way your whole body moves.
How can we Help?
At Beyond Better Health the chiropractor will assess how your spine is moving and check if there are any functional impairments affecting your balance, eye movements, body awareness and postural control. Your ability to perform certain tests will help us decide the primary cause of the neck pain and mean that we can provide a targeted treatment to the problem. This gives us the best chance of relieving your pain and ultimately keeping it at bay.
