Neck Pain

Reasons for Neck Pain

Neck pain can wreak havoc in your life. Many of these problems have been relieved through treatment at Molstad Chiropractic in Sioux City, IA.

Most common reasons for neck pain:

• Aging of joints — The cervical spine supports and moves your head. The downside to this amazing flexibility is that over time the neck is at risk of pain and injury.
• Muscle Strain — Creates pain and limited motion and can happen just by a turn of the neck.
• Posture — Poor posture is a common reason for neck pain and can be corrected through treatment.
• Nerve Compression — Symptoms of an irritated nerve could be tingling, weakness, and dizziness.
• Injury/Trauma — Accidents involving the head and neck can injure the surrounding & supporting tissues of the neck. The forced movement of the head or neck can create tightening and contracting -resulting in pain and stiffness.
