Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain in Vaughan
Did you wake up with neck pain? Are you experiencing neck spasms? Or is your neck getting tired very quickly? Do you have a new or old neck injury? Are you experiencing constant headaches that are affecting your day to day life? Well don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many people report experiencing some sort of neck pain or stiffness throughout their life and it is unfortunately very common.
Neck pain is any discomfort that affects the neck around the spine.The pain can be pinpointed to one area, or you may feel the pain around the entire neck including spinal vertebrae. Neck pain usually refers to discomfort on the back and sides of the neck rather than the front of the neck.
The neck has an incredibly important function as it acts as the signal tower for the brain to communicate with the rest of your body and nervous system. All of the motor and sensory information that our bodies experience on a day to day basis must pass through our neck to make it to our brain.
Since it is such an important part of our body, injuries to the neck and neck pain can sometimes have incredibly significant consequences for the functionality of our bodies on a daily basis and overtime can be fatal or lead to spinal health conditions.
As a result, we must ask ourselves “how does neck pain even occur and how will I know if I should see a chiropractor because of my neck pain?”
Reasons for Neck Pain/Symptoms of Neck Pain
Unfortunately, neck pain is an incredibly common ailment that many people suffer with on a daily basis. But it is also the most neglected pain because most of us are trained to ignore the signal and only reach out for help when the intensity of the pain gets worse.
Our necks work tirelessly to support our skulls while still allowing fluid motion to perform everyday tasks. Additionally, the neck is the most flexible part of the spine which allows us to look around without moving our bodies to perform actions such as scanning our surroundings without moving the rest of our bodies or looking down at our keyboards while at work. Since the neck is such an important part of your body, it is important to understand the causes and symptoms of neck pain so you can recognize them and actively combat them.
