Neck pain is one of the most common complaints we see at Premier Chiropractic and Wellness — and it’s no surprise. With long hours at desks, scrolling on phones, and daily stress, your neck is under more strain than ever. If you’re waking up stiff, turning your head is uncomfortable, or you’re dealing with headaches that seem to start at your neck — you’re not alone.
Let’s look at some of the most common causes of neck pain, and how chiropractic care can bring you lasting relief.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
1. Poor Posture
If you spend hours hunched over a desk or looking down at your phone, you’re putting extra pressure on your neck. This is often called “tech neck,” and over time, it can lead to pain, muscle tightness, and even headaches.
2. Stress & Muscle Tension
Emotional stress can lead to physical tension, especially in your shoulders and neck. This tightness often causes dull, aching pain or “knots” that never seem to go away on their own.
3. Injury or Whiplash
Car accidents, sports injuries, or even minor falls can cause neck trauma. Whiplash, in particular, can lead to long-lasting pain, reduced range of motion, and nerve irritation if left untreated.
4. Misalignment in the Spine
Subluxations — or small misalignments in your spine — can pinch nerves and affect how your muscles and joints function. This can result in sharp pain, stiffness, or a “locked-up” feeling in the neck and upper back.
