Neck Pain Services

There are many reasons why you might experience neck pain. Neck pain frequently arises because of damage to the bones and soft tissues, resulting in:

• Muscle strain
• Tendon strain
• Ligament sprains
• Joint wear
• Nerve compression
• Herniated cervical discs

Stress and anxiety are often to blame for neck pain, as they cause the muscles to tighten. Muscle tension in the neck often results in headaches and may radiate down the back as well. 

Neck problems can play a significant role in causing several different types of headaches, including migraines. Diseases that can cause neck pain include:

• Cervical spondylosis
• Cervical stenosis
• Meningitis
• Osteoarthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Rheumatoid arthritis

In many cases, undergoing treatment for neck pain at Eckert Chiropractic, P.C. can help you avoid invasive surgeries on your cervical spine.

Neck pain often develops from preventable causes. Bad posture, carrying heavy weight on one shoulder, poor sleeping positions, and bending your neck at odd angles can all cause acute neck injuries and muscle strain.

Continually repeating these behaviors can cause repetitive strain injuries, and the discs and facet joints in the vertebrae are likely to deteriorate. Avoiding these behaviors is the best way to prevent neck pain, as well as tension-related headaches and some migraines.

Performing regular exercises to stretch and strengthen your neck muscles and other tissues can improve the flexibility of your neck and help prevent neck problems. Gentle exercise like yoga and Pilates are ideal for your neck.
