There are many reasons for chronic neck and back pain, be it bad posture, working long hours at a computer or hunching over a steering wheel all day. The neck, or cervical spine, starts at the base of our skull and consists of seven small vertebrae. It helps rotate your head freely, but this flexibility also makes it vulnerable to pain and injury.


In general, back pain affects men and women between the ages of 20 and 40. Although, more common in the lower back, the upper can be affected too. As a result, a patient may have a limited range of motion and feel tenderness. Symptoms may occur when you make excessive movements after a long period of inactivity.

Chiropractic care is believed to realign the spine by pressing the joints. Chiropractors mostly focus on skeletal and muscular problems, especially of the lower back and neck; shoulder pain; and headaches. It is considered by many to be an effective and affordable health care option.

For neck and back pain, different techniques are applied. Acupuncture and massage are the most popular and effective treatments for pain relief.
