Neck pain, unfortunately, is something everyone experiences. Even a child who sleeps in an awkward position for too long will wake up with a stiff or painful neck. However, there are times when neck pain can be serious and extremely painful, especially if the cause is due to an injured or misaligned structural component. If you live in or around Hamburg, NY, Dr. Christina Bukaty at Bukaty Family Chiropractic, who has completed an upper cervical preceptorship, and offer noninvasive treatments to reduce or alleviate neck pain.
Common Neck Pain Causes
The neck is formed by various muscles, nerves, bones, joints, and discs, which make it quite vulnerable to injury or misalignment. The cause of neck pain varies but may include -
Trauma/Injury A traumatic event – like being rear-ended or a slip-and-fall accident, may cause neck pain and related symptoms.
Arthritis When afflicted with arthritis, your body's joints become stiff and inflamed, leading to reduced mobility and increased pain.
A Pulled Muscle A muscle injury is among the most common causes of neck pain. Chronic poor posture (i.e., slouching, etc. ) or repetitive motion injuries can create this type of injury.
Herniated/Bulging Discs The discs between the spine's vertebrae can become herniated or begin to bulge out of place. When this happens, it typically compresses a nerve which results in pain.
Pinched Nerves When neck nerves are pinched/compressed, the resulting pain can be severe and cause numbness or tingling originating in the neck and radiating down one or both of your arms or into the back of the head.
Osteoporosis This medical condition causes one's bones to become brittle and weak. This increases someone afflicted with osteoporosis's chances of fracturing a bone, which then can lead to temporary immobility and a host of complications.
