Vegas Valley Chiropractic offers treatment for many different forms of neck pain. Some
common presentations of neck pain include:
Decreased range of motion
Pain with turning head
Severe tightness sitting at the computer
Pain radiating into the shoulders or arms from the neck
Tension in neck muscles that increases with stress
Neck pain that causes headache pain – tension headaches
Stiff neck
Most neck pain is caused by improper posture such as an incorrect sleeping position or
hunching over at a computer desk for hours on end. Neck pain becomes serious when it
affects your day-to-day activities like rotating your head over your shoulder or sleeping.
When neck pain affects your life, it can be caused by a misalignment in your spine that
puts excessive pressure on the surrounding muscles, nerves, and ligaments. A
chiropractor can provide treatment for your stiff neck symptoms.
Whiplash
Whiplash is caused by an injury to the neck when the head moves forward and
backward in a rapid motion that ends up placing strain on the surrounding muscles and
ligaments and usually occurs in a motor vehicle accident. Symptoms of whiplash include:
Restricted joint movement in the spine or limbs
A herniated disc that causes sharp pain down one or both arms
Chronic neck pain
Difficulty concentrating
Neck pain caused by whiplash can become chronic if left untreated. Dr. Mirna Gamboa
can help to diagnose and handle the problem. Visiting a chiropractor allows your spine to
gently become realigned to its proper position, ultimately easing your pain.
