Neck Pain

Your neck is supported by the cervical spine. It is a stack of seven vertebrae separated by spongy shock absorbers called discs. Nerve roots branch out from the cervical spine to the upper body. That is why the symptoms can also extend to the shoulders, arms or hands. Do you know what neck pain and scoliosis have in common?

Muscles, tendons and ligaments stabilize the spine and allow movement. When these are impacted, stiffness and inflammation can result. With such a complex structure at stake, it’s no wonder you are looking into neck surgery alternatives.

Chiropractic services are effective at keeping the vertebrae aligned, and address the damaged bone and tissue. It offers severe pain relief with no cutting, no drugs and almost no downtime.

Neck Pain Causes

Herniated disc. This occurs when the soft core of a vertebral disc pokes out of the disc wall. When it pushes against a nearby nerve, it can cause severe pain, numbness, or both. This condition is caused by gradual wear and tear, repetitive movements and age-related disc degeneration.

Spinal stenosis. This is a narrowing of the cervical spinal canal that puts pressure on nerve roots. Left untreated, it can cause nerve damage or even paralysis.

Pinched nerve in the neck. Technically called cervical radiculopathy, this happens when a nerve root is compressed by bone, tendon, muscle or cartilage. This neck nerve pain can radiate to the shoulder and beyond.
