Why Neck Pain Occurs in Issaquah WA

Neck pain is common in the modern world. When you look around, you see people hunched over desks, slouched in front of television or smartphone screens, and simply not moving their bodies as much as they should.

Three main factors, stress, poor posture, and sedentary lifestyles, all create joint misalignments, tissue damage, and strain in the neck area. Of course, traumatic events like auto accidents, slips, falls, or work injuries can lead to acute neck pain as well, which if left unaddressed, may progress into a recurring problem. When you add the fact that most of us spend so much time sitting down that our core muscles have become weak and our hip and shoulders are tight and inflexible, we become even more at risk of neck pain after some kind of trauma, since we go into the accident already with some amount of dysfunction.

Neck Pain in Issaquah WA

It is impossible to help an individual with neck pain if you not sure of the location of the problem. Issaquah WA chiropractors are trained in the use of a variety of diagnostic tools which give them the ability to locate the source of neck pain. This comes as a great advantage when treating this condition.

The spine is one of the most complex areas of your body, with almost every systemic nerve running through it. Muscles connected to a region of the spine that is misaligned can spasm and tighten. This tightening is believed to be a defense mechanism of the body to protect the spine and spinal cord. Bad posture and repetitive motions with a bad posture are the most common cause of misalignments that can happen in the spine.

Many people let spinal problems go uncorrected. They hope that if they wait long enough their neck pain will just go away. In a lot of cases it probably will go away, but the misalignment that caused the problem is still there. Over time that area will often become aggravated again, and the pain will return. Over time without correction, the problem can become much more serious. Some patients get to the point where surgery may be the only option.

Common vs. Normal

If you have neck pain don't fall into the common vs. normal trap. The trap insinuates that because so many people have neck pain it must be normal. Neck pain is very common, but it is certainly not normal. This type of reasoning is why we see so many people with problems that can no longer be corrected. You don't have to become a statistic of neck pain. Take control of the problem before it's too late.

The first time you're in our office we will begin with your health history. Our Doctor needs to understand your condition before he can properly help you. Our hope is that your recovery will be speedy and quick.
