Suffering From Neck Pain in Edmonton AB?

You know the old saying, “It's a pain in the neck”? Well, when you live with neck pain long enough, you know its important to find an excellent chiropractor in Edmonton AB. Neck pain can make even the simplest of movements involving the neck, head, arms, shoulders, and back excruciatingly difficult. Neck problems can lead to headaches, upper body discomfort and sore muscles. Immobility resulting from neck pain can cause the muscles to become weak and to degenerate over time.

Understanding the root of your neck pain is a necessary step towards acquiring the treatment that will be effective in both short and long-term recovery. The following article looks at the causes of neck pain and explains how Edmonton AB chiropractic care can be a useful alternative to conventional treatments.

Neck Pain Relief in Edmonton AB

Although the neck is a relatively small area of the body, it is comprised of some complicated structures which do the important job of holding your head up. The small size of the vertebrae of the neck allows for a lot of mobility, but can also make the neck more vulnerable to injury and pain. Some of the causes of neck pain include:

• Trauma, such as whiplash
• Sleeping position
• Poor posture
• Repetitive stress
• Abnormalities in the bone structure
• Joint issues
• Muscle strains and pulls

Many of these issues are either caused by, or impact, the alignment of the spine. When muscles in the neck go into spasm, the spine gets pulled out of alignment. When the spine is misaligned, the nerves may become irritated and cause further tension and other musculoskeletal problems.

Over time, that area can become aggravated, and the pain can return. If the problem is not corrected it can become much more serious.
