Neck pain This is the most common symptom of neck misalignment. Neck pain caused by misalignment can be sharp or dull in different people, or even in the same people. Spending long periods hunched over in front of screens, hunched over, or holding your neck forward can strain your cervical muscles. Over time, poor posture can cause the vertebrae in the neck to lose their alignment and cause persistent discomfort.
The wrong pillow height or a poor sleeping position can also contribute to neck misalignment. For example, sleeping on your stomach with your head turned to one side for long periods of time can put excessive pressure on your neck. Spinal misalignments, including neck misalignment, can be responsible for everything from chronic headaches and depression to increased risk of contracting a common cold. Neck misalignment is usually the cause of neck pain.
When you wake up in the morning, your neck muscles can stretch and cause neck pain as soon as you get out of bed. This has led to increased back and neck pain due to poor posture. It will also affect the alignment of the spine and neck over time. If you experience recurring back pain or neck pain, even after implementing lifestyle changes, it may be time to visit your local chiropractor.
If neck pain limits your mobility, you should also see a chiropractor right away. Many people think that neck pain will just go away, but that's not always the case. If you were injured in a car accident and have neck pain, chiropractic care is the best treatment for you.

If neck alignment is left untreated, it can cause more serious side effects, such as headaches, migraines, sinus problems, vertigo, seizures, TMJ, fatigue, eye problems, hearing problems, immune system problems, chronic diseases, and more. Long-term compression of the spinal cord can also cause neurological problems, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis and trigeminal neuralgia. Misalignment of the spine can cause several symptoms, such as back pain, headaches, and difficulty sleeping. People may consider seeing a doctor if their symptoms are severe or recurring.
Doctors can recommend the most appropriate treatment to improve symptoms and prevent further complications. I've been consulting Paul for my neck pain a couple of months ago, I had already been with other fairly local osteopaths and there didn't seem to be any progress, but since I found him here it's been much better. Long-term symptoms that don't improve with lifestyle changes or home remedies warrant a consultation with a chiropractor, physical therapist, or healthcare provider. A chiropractor can help to safely realign the neck to eliminate symptoms, including chronic headaches.
It wasn't until I came to Krieg Chiropractic that I realized that my upper cervical misalignment was the root cause of my symptoms.
