Understanding Neck Pain and Stiffness
80% of people experience neck pain at some point in their life while 20-50% experience neck pain annually.
Your cervical spine, or neck, is made up of seven bones with discs in between.

In the absence of trauma such as a motor vehicle accident or sports injury, neck pain can most often be treated successfully utilizing non-invasive care:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Corrective Exercises
Soft Tissue Therapy
Common Causes of Neck Pain & Stiffness
Poor Workstation Ergonomics
Long Periods of Sitting & Looking Down
Repetitive Movements With Your Neck
Prolonged Overhead Activity
Sedentary Lifestyles
Even though rest may provide temporary relief, it is important to have your neck pain thoroughly evaluated to ensure the proper treatment plan is put into place.
The joints within the spine are meant to move.
When they become restricted, the muscles around the neck become tight.
