Many conditions can cause neck pain and may arise from acute injuries — including whiplash — or may be the result of chronic poor posture or wear-and-tear. Common causes of neck pain include:
Pain down your arms — whether sharp or tingling — may also be associated with neck pain. The team always performs a thorough exam to determine the cause of your pain and any other associated symptoms.
The cause of your neck pain is diagnosed following a comprehensive consultation and exam with your provider. They first ask about your condition, activities that increase or decrease your pain, and the location of your pain. Then they take you through a series of movements to check your range of motion and flexibility.
During the orthopedic neck exam, your provider may stretch your neck, apply pressure on your neck or shoulders, or push down on the top of your head gently to compress the joints in your spine. If indicated, the team may send you to an imaging center for X-rays or an MRI.
Based on your consultation and exam, the team diagnoses the cause of your neck plan and recommends a treatment approach. Most causes of neck pain respond well to chiropractic care, rehabilitation, soft tissue work, and at-home exercises.
Your provider may also recommend postural changes or improving the ergonomics of your workstation, if appropriate. If your pain doesn’t resolve with conservative care, the team provides referrals to other specialists in the area for further treatment.
