Suffering from Neck Pain in Houston?

Pain and stiffness in the neck are common complaints. It most often occurs as the result of an injury or aggravation of the muscles and ligaments of the neck and upper back. Sleeping in an improper position, holding the head in an awkward position and spending too much time staring at a cell phone or table can also lead to discomfort in the neck.

Minor aches and pains that subside on their own within a few days generally are not a major concern, but if you are suffering from chronic neck pain in Houston, it’s important to seek prompt attention from your Houston chiropractor.

The cause of neck pain can often be determined based on the characteristics of the pain – sharp, dull, burning, achy, etc. – and any weakness or numbness you may be experiencing. When your pain of most prominent can also provide helpful clues in diagnosing the cause of your pain. For example, if your neck hurts in the morning but feels better later in the day, it may be caused by arthritis. Pain that gets worse when you sneeze or cough may be due to a serious disc problem.

Recurring neck pain or chronic neck pain generally needs to be evaluated by a chiropractor. You should also consult a chiropractor immediately for severe pain that begins following an injury. If you’ve been involved in a car accident, you should have your neck evaluated even if you aren’t currently experiencing pain.
