Types of Neck Pain

Normally if you’ve been experiencing neck pain for anywhere between 6-8 weeks, it is a sprain/strain situation. However, if the neck pain has been occurring for longer than that, this leads us to believe that the cause of the neck pain is something else. Here at Abundant Life, we commonly see patients come in with neck pain due to misalignment of the spinal bones in the neck. This can a happen for many different reasons, ranging from severe traumas to everyday wear and tear. Whether this happens from a recent automobile accident, or everyday wear and tear from sitting at a computer every day, these activities have the potential to shift the spinal bones of the neck out of place. This misalignment of these spinal bones is called a subluxation.

What is subluxation?

Subluxation is a misalignment of the spinal bones that causes stress on the nervous system. This stress on the nerves will cause pain and tightness of the surrounding muscles, but it also eventually cause other problems within the body. At Abundant Life,  some of the other symptoms we see coming from subluxations in the neck include: numbness and tingling into the arms, hands and fingers, headaches, shoulder pain, chronic fatigue and many more.
