Neck Pain treated at Cliffs Chiropractic Southend

Lifestyles and working practices today often result in us all spending too long sitting at a desk or leaning forward working on a computer or performing repetitive tasks. This often result in muscle tension from poor posture which applies extra pressure on the neck, back and shoulders, causing headaches, migraines or other neck pain.

 

Tension caused by stress can increase muscle tension, placing pressure on the joint in the neck which irritates the spinal nerves, sometimes leading to “referred pain” in other parts of the body or numbness in shoulder, arm and hands.

The neck is vulnerable to pain and stiffness partly because  it supports the weight of the head, neck strain can also come from overuse of the arms such as too much lifting and carrying. This can lead to uncomplicated mechanical neck pain.
