Hi, this is Dr. Peter Lynch at Tri-State’s Chiropractic Health and Injury Care. Today we’re gonna talk about one of the most common symptoms I see in the office, which is neck pain. neck pain, can be caused by a variety of different reasons. poor posture at work, whether you’re sitting on the desk all day, driving heavy equipment, driving semis, driving cars.
a lot of athletes have neck pain because of the extreme nature of their programs or the sport that they play. you may be a person who’s maybe had a car collision in the past where your neck has went forward and backwards at the time. It might seem like it, it was doing okay, but.
Over time that can kind of linger and cause neck pain. You might have stiffness through here or tightness at the top of the head, maybe causing headaches that wraps around through the eyes or the side of the temple. I also see people with neck pain that can travel down between the shoulder blades.
Here or here as well. in more extreme cases, which is never good, you may have tingling going down to your arms or fingers.
What you can do to help is just do a simple stretch, Bring your hand, bring it down behind your back, kind of anchoring the shoulder that stretches the muscle there, and then you stretch the opposite direction here, holding that stretch anywhere from 15 to 30 to 45 seconds
here at my office, what we do for that is we do an exam consultation, x-rays, and we’re looking for something called. subluxation. Well, what does that mean? simply put, as the bone has shifted out of place, causing interference to the musculature, the structure of the spine, even putting pressure on the nerve.
And the nerve is something that controls how everything functions. our goal is to get some of those things under control. Now, feel free if these tips aren’t helping with the stretches, give our office a call. We can go ahead and get you set up with that first appointment. Not only get you feeling better, but get you feeling.
great
