Neck Pain
While there are many
reasons why someone may experience neck
pain, such as sleeping in a bad position,
the underlying problem involves the neck and
spinal muscles. The spine can be curved,
twisted or misaligned by the various
mishaps of our daily living. Once the spine
is misaligned, prolonged or
repetitive contractions of the muscles that
are attached to the spinal bones in
the neck and back can aggravate the
misalignment.
Many things can cause muscle contractions in
the spine. Physical stress can be caused by
keeping your head in a contracted position
for an extended period of time such as
painting a ceiling or holding a phone
between your head and shoulder. Whiplash or
any form of neck injury can also be physical
causes. Emotional stress, such as feelings
of anger, fear, worry, hatred, and jealousy
also cause the spinal muscles to contract.
Although the stresses that cause
contractions in our spinal muscles should be
avoided, chiropractic manipulation can
realign the spinal bones so that the
contractions will not cause further
problems.
