Common Causes and Treatments for Neck Pain from Our Joliet Chiropractor

Back and neck pain are two common complaints doctors hear. At any time, between 10% and 20% of the adults will experience neck pain bad enough that it negatively impacts their life. At ANEW Chiropractic, our Joliet chiropractor, Dr. Lisa Rubis, can provide relief from neck pain. Neck pain can be caused by a variety of causes, including injury, medical issues, and lifestyle.

Activities and Behavioral Causes

• Poor posture
• Texting or looking down at your phone
• Stress

In many cases, neck pain isn’t serious and relief can come in a few days or weeks. However, neck pain can also be a symptom of more serious medical problems, including cancer of the spine, tumors, or heart problems. It’s not something to ignore.

Preventing Neck Pain

Exercising and stretching your neck muscles can help. If you use a computer, making sure the monitor is at eye level can reduce strain. Improving your posture can help as can sleeping on your back, or changing pillows. When these simple treatments don’t work and your pain continues, it’s time to see the doctor.
