Sometimes patients will come in to see our chiropractor for neck pain that developed after some sort of mechanical trauma. This could either be from a fall or from a car accident. More commonly, however, neck pain can develop for seemingly no reason. In these cases patient’s normally have a history of working at a desk and carrying tension across their shoulders. Over time, this build up of muscular tension will put too much pressure and strain on the neck. Unless something is done about it either through exercise or hands on treatment, the neck will become prone to injury. This can be very concerning and can therefore make patient’s quite anxious as they are scared it is something more serious. Most of the time neck pain is not serious but the pain levels can still be high. During our initial consultation we take great care to make sure there is nothing more serious going on, and that the treatment can be done in the safest way possible.
