Common Causes of Chronic Neck Pain
Understanding the potential causes of neck pain can help you prevent it in the future. For those already experiencing neck problems, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify what may have caused your condition.
Neck pain is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
Poor Posture
Poor posture is often a result of long periods of desk work or from staring down at devices for prolonged periods. In recent years, posture issues have become a leading cause of neck pain.
Muscle Strain
Frequent strain or overuse of neck muscles increases the chance of causing neck pain.
Sleeping Position
Improper sleeping positions or sleeping on an unsupportive pillow can cause neck injuries to develop, resulting in chronic pain.
Injuries
Injuries as a result of sports or work can cause severe or chronic neck pain.
Degenerative Conditions
Degenerative conditions like arthritis can develop as people age. This causes the cushioning in the neck to wear down and cause discomfort and mobility issues.
Pinched Nerves
Pinched nerves occur when the vertebrae in your neck compress or you are suffering from a herniated disc.
Stress
A typical stress response involves tightening the muscles in the neck and shoulders. The tension this causes can lead to neck pain.

What are the Treatment Options for Neck Pain?
WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS WITH NECK PAIN? ProWellness Family Chiropractic offers different types of treatment, each serving a different purpose. Some of the treatments you may be recommended include:
Chiropractic Care
Spinal adjustments and other forms of chiropractic care can alleviate spinal problems and provide relief from nerve pain, sports injuries, and other conditions that can affect the health of your neck.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy uses a gentle traction table to stretch the spine. This realigns the spine while also rehydrating discs in the spine and neck.
Auto Accident Care
Whiplash is a common condition that affects the neck after a car accident. Getting auto accident care early in your recovery can improve your health, increase your recovery time, and more effectively reduce pain.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy targets the pained area with harmless acoustic waves that improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and encourage healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common reason for neck pain?
While there isn’t one definitive cause of neck pain, today stress and poor posture are the most common causes. Poor posture, like hunching over a laptop at work, and stress can cause muscle tightness and other conditions that can lead to neck pain.
How do I know if my neck pain is serious?
Experiencing elevated levels of pain or symptoms that impede your ability to live your life is an indication of a more severe condition. Taking action sooner rather than later can help to minimize the impact and severity of your condition on your life.
What treatment is best for neck pain?
Chiropractic care is often the most effective way to treat cases of neck pain. A good chiropractor can identify the root of your condition and help you heal from it. Even after treatment, the chiropractor can help you understand why the pain started in the first place so you can avoid repeat problems.
Does neck pain ever go away?
Minor instances of neck pain will usually go away on their own. In more severe cases of neck pain, though, chiropractic care will likely be required.
