Neck pain is a common reason why people seek chiropractic care, with neck complaints presenting as stiffness or soreness in and around the neck area. While neck pain may be localised to the lower or upper neck, it may also radiate up or down the neck into the head, shoulders, arms, or fingers. The neck plays an important structural role in the human body, supporting the head and connecting the spinal column to the brain. Here at Healing Wave Chiropractic, we aim to reduce neck pain and related physical discomfort through careful manipulation and tailored exercise management programs.
Neck pain can present itself in many ways, with common symptoms including sharp pain, tenderness, stiffness, and pain that radiates into other areas of the body. Neck pain can be acute or chronic in nature. Along with mild and severe local pain, neck pain can also affect other parts of the body, with possible symptoms including headaches, shoulder pain, numbness, and tingling in the arms and fingers.
