What Causes Neck Pain
Neck pain can develop for many reasons. In some cases, symptoms appear suddenly, while in others they build gradually over time. Understanding the cause of your discomfort is essential for effective treatment.
Common contributors to neck pain in Cheltenham include:
Prolonged desk or screen work
Poor posture or workstation setup
Muscle tension and stress
Sudden movements or awkward sleeping positions
Repetitive activities
Previous injuries such as whiplash
Jaw tension or teeth grinding
Reduced mobility in the upper spine
At West Healthcare, we focus on identifying the mechanical and muscular factors contributing to your pain, rather than masking symptoms alone.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Neck Pain
Chiropractic care supports neck pain by improving how the joints, muscles, and nerves function together. Restrictions in movement or muscle imbalance can place strain on sensitive structures in the neck, leading to discomfort and stiffness.
Chiropractic treatment at West Healthcare may help to:
Improve joint mobility in the neck and upper back
Reduce muscle tension and guarding
Support better posture and movement patterns
Relieve pressure on irritated nerves
Improve comfort during daily activities
Our approach is always tailored to you, following a thorough assessment and clear explanation of findings.
Neck Pain and Headaches
Many people with neck pain also experience headaches. These are often referred to as cervicogenic headaches, meaning the pain originates from structures in the neck.
Symptoms may include:
Pain at the base of the skull
Headaches triggered by neck movement
Shoulder and upper back tension
Jaw discomfort
Chiropractic care can be particularly effective for neck-related headaches by improving movement and reducing muscle tension.
If migraines are a concern, see how we can help.
