About 75% of people experience significant neck pain at some point and 15% of people suffer from chronic neck pain
About 75% of people experience significant neck pain at some point and 15% of people suffer from chronic neck pain. A healthy neck needs to be in good alignment, to move properly, and have sufficient strength and stability to support the head. Your neck, or what doctors call the cervical spine, has to carry the weight of a bowling ball all day long because an adult head weights between 10 to 12lbs! Many things can cause neck pain: repetitive motion, poor posture, sitting at a computer too long without moving, an accident, sports injury, or disc degeneration.
When weakness and instability start to occur, this leads to irritation of the structures of the neck. If not addressed your neck problems can progress to impinging the nerves exiting the neck, or even impact the central canal protecting the spinal cord. When the nerves in your neck are disturbed that can lead to serious pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body too.
