Antonia Bonagura, Neck Pain

Neck stiffness can limit your range of motion and can stop you from turning your head easily. It can cause difficulty driving and can be a problem in every day movements. 

Neck pain can be caused by tight muscles and ligaments, restricted joints and  inflamed nerves and discs. 

The neck can become stiff and tight, with certain movements causing sharp pains and the feeling of pinching or pulling. 

Conditions, including Torticollis, where the neck feels locked and is painful to turn, are caused when the neck and shoulder muscles spasm and put pressure on the joints and nerves, which in turn become tight and restricted and cause pain. 

Chiropractors can ease the tension within the muscles and joints and in-turn, ease the pain and return movement to normal. 

As well as providing pain relief and increasing mobility, a chiropractor will give advice on specific stretches, exercises and movements to speed up recovery. Posture, sitting and faulty movements will also be addressed, which will help maintain long-term neck health.   

Chiropractors are known for treating stiffness and tension in joints and muscles, why not see if we can help you!
