Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain at Jacksonville Health & Wellness Center

Neck pain can strike anyone at almost any time, regardless of their age or health. A wide range of ailments can cause extreme neck pain that can render you unable to work or go through your day without experiencing extreme pain or discomfort. In some instances, neck pain disappears on its own. However, minor injuries can still lead to serious neck problems later on if left untreated. If you are dealing with chronic pain in or around the neck, contact us at Jacksonville Health & Wellness Center for a non-invasive treatment plan to reduce pain and prevent it from reoccurring.

Why People Suffer from Neck Pain

We often see patients suffering from neck pain or discomfort due to whiplash. This occurs when the head jolts forward and then backward suddenly due to a collision caused by an auto accident or contact sports like football. Neck pain can also arise due to personal injuries. If you look at your cell phone, tablet, or laptop regularly, you may experience pain because of the consistent strain put on the neck while looking at a screen. Improper posture while working or sleeping can also cause neck pain or discomfort. Other common causes of neck pain include:

Worn joints: Like other prevailing joints in your body, neck joints tend to wear down with age. Osteoarthritis propagates your cartilages between your bones to degenerate. Your body then builds bone spurs that slow down the movements of joints, thereby causing pain.

Nerve compression: Bone spurs or ruptured disks in the vertebrae of your neck can cause strain on the nerves emanating from the spinal cord.

Illnesses: Certain ailments like rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, or meningitis can cause neck pain.

Common Symptoms of Neck Pain

• Decreased mobility in head movement
• Clicking and grating noises
• Dizziness and blackouts
• Muscle tightness and spasms
• Pain and stiffness
• Headaches
