Neck Pain: Causes, Symptoms & Chiropractic Treatment
Understanding Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common issue, with nearly two-thirds of the UK population experiencing it at some point in their lives. While discomfort is typically felt in the neck, it can also radiate into the head, shoulders, or arms. In many cases, the root cause may originate from other areas of the spine.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
- Muscle Tightness: Tension in the neck, upper back, or lower back muscles.
- Nerve Compression: Pinched nerves in the neck causing pain, sometimes extending into the arms.
- Joint Fixation: Stiffness in the neck joints leading to discomfort.
- Stress: Excessive stress resulting in muscle tightness.
- Trauma: Injuries such as whiplash.
- Disc Herniation: Bulging or prolapsed discs pressing on nerves.
- Poor Posture: Sustained poor posture from desk work or prolonged awkward positions.
- Overuse: Muscle strain from repetitive activities.
Symptoms Associated with Neck Pain

- Headaches
- Stiffness in the neck
