Neck pain is becoming an increasingly common issue throughout the world, with around two thirds of people experiencing neck pain at some point in their lives. This comes as no surprise when you consider current lifestyle trends, such as increasing device usage, increased sedentary lifestyles, working from home and poor posture.
The most common type of neck pain is non-specific neck pain and is usually related to postural and mechanical strain on the cervical spine. Pain can originate from any of the musculoskeletal structures in this area, such as, muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves and discs.
The neck (cervical spine) is responsible for supporting the weight of the head, as well as creating large ranges of movement for the head. Due to this role, it endures a large amount of mechanical load, which in turn, can lead to several painful musculoskeletal conditions.
Some common causes of neck pain include:
At Impulse Chiropractic, we will determine the best form of treatment for your neck pain based on your age, body type and type of injury. We do not have a “one size fits all” approach to treatment and use a combination of methods that will best suit you. Our treatment approaches for neck pain include:
Low back pain is our most common complaint presenting to Impulse Chiropractic. Low back pain affects approximately 60-80% of people throughout their lifetime.
Increased usage of technology, increased sedentary lifestyles, working from home and adoption of poor postures has contributed to more people suffering from thoracic and rib pain.
Coccyx/tailbone pain can be an extremely painful and debilitating condition. Females are 5 times more likely to experience this pain than males.
The shoulder is a complex, mobile and dynamic joint! Most shoulder conditions involve the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursa.
The temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) or TMJ is one of the most heavily used joints in the body. It therefore can be a common source of pain and dysfunction.
Plantar fasciitis is a common, painful foot condition that can affect people of all ages and activity levels.
Our chiropractors are well trained in the specific mechanisms involved in sports injuries as well as having backgrounds participating in high level sports themselves.
Osteoarthritis can affect any joint in the body, but it most commonly affects the knees, hips, low back, neck, and fingers/hands.
