What causes neck pain?

One of the more common causes of neck pain that we see in our office is from spinal subluxation (misalignment).  If you look at the above picture, you’ll see what a normal neck looks like and one example of what a spinal misalignment of subluxation looks like.  These misalignments can put pressure on nerves, aggravate muscles, and alter joint motion.  Over time this can lead to a symptom of neck pain.  As chiropractors, our job is to detect and correct subluxation so that the body can function better.  Subluxations can obviously happen from trauma such as sports injuries or car accidents, but more common is from smaller repetitive strains such as poor work posture or staring at a phone.  We find that many times when subluxations are corrected the body can heal itself and the pain will go away.
