Head and Neck Pain

Managing Neck Pain manage neck pain from poor posture spinal injury at our lake worth chiropractor

Neck pain is a common complaint, especially among people ages 50 and older. If chronic neck pain is disrupting your daily life, you need to learn to manage your pain. Treatments from Lake Worth chiropractor, Dr. Cacic, may be very effective.

What Causes Neck Pain?

Usually, there are two general causes of pain in the cervical region of the spine: a sudden injury like whiplash, or consistently poor posture habits.

Spinal Injury

Sudden neck injuries occur when the head is jolted back and forth very quickly, causing the vertebrae to grate against each other. Whiplash is the most common car accident injury in America, but it can also be caused by slipping and falling, sports accidents, and even carnival rides.

Whiplash pinches nerves and injures the muscles, tendons and ligaments that support the correct alignment of your neck, all of which leads to pain. Keep in mind that whiplash is often a delayed-onset injury, meaning that symptoms may not always appear immediately following the incident. Sometimes it takes hours, days or even weeks for whiplash symptoms to appear. If you think you’ve been injured but don’t experience symptoms, play it safe and call our chiropractor to begin preemptive treatment.

Posture & Ergonomics

Poor posture refers to slouching or hunching over a keyboard, which extends the natural curve of your neck forward. It also means sleeping on the wrong pillow and waking up with stiff neck every morning. Investing in more ergonomic office furniture and a better pillow can make a world of difference.

Symptoms of Neck Pain

The specific symptoms of posture problems and whiplash injuries share many commonalities. General pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion are the most common. Headaches, vision problems, sleep disturbances, fatigue and irritability may also arise.
