| Long-Term Neck Pain... One of the worst things we do to ourselves is assume that a pain in the neck is something normal and that everyone should cope with. Your neck is designed to move freely and function normally in spite of the stresses it experiences day by day. Pain is a sign that something is keeping your neck from functioning normallyas its designed to do. The pain may stem from muscles, tendons, ligaments or spinal injury; or a combination of all of the above. Regardless of the cause, a good chiropractor will determine what is causing your neck pain, outline a course of treatment to relieve the problem, and keep your neck operating as its designed to do. Not relieving neck pain may allow degenerative changes including bone spurs, spinal decay, and fusing of spinal joints to occur along with degeneration of the organs and tissues deprived of normal nerve control. Not only is a pain in the neck a pain in the neck, it can threaten the quality of your life. |
