Neck Pain
Neck pain is one of the most common concerns people experience and often results from a combination of posture habits, prolonged screen time, stress, repetitive movements, or misalignments in the cervical spine. Tight muscles, restricted joints, nerve irritation, and even jaw or upper back dysfunction can all contribute. Because the neck plays a key role in both movement and nervous system communication, imbalances here can create symptoms throughout the head, shoulders, and upper body.
Common Symptoms
- Pain or stiffness when turning or tilting the head
- Reduced range of motion
- Tightness, burning, or pulling in the neck, shoulders, or upper back
- Headaches or facial discomfort that originate in the neck
- Radiating pain or tingling into the arms or hands
- Muscle spasms or difficulty maintaining posture
- Worsening discomfort with stress, looking down at devices, or long periods of sitting
