Neck pain can arise from a variety of causes, including poor posture, muscle strain, and injuries such as whiplash. Sometimes, it's as simple as "sleeping on it wrong." Prolonged periods of sitting, especially while using computers or smartphones, can lead to muscle fatigue and discomfort. Over time, degenerative conditions like arthritis may also contribute to neck pain. Symptoms often associated with neck pain include stiffness, reduced range of motion, headaches, and sometimes radiating pain into the shoulders, arms, hands, and/or fingers. In some cases, individuals may experience tingling or numbness, indicating potential nerve involvement. Identifying the underlying causes is crucial effective treatment and relief. If this sounds familiar to you, Sikeston Chiropractic would like to help.

We begin by having a conversation about the specifics of your situation, followed by a physical exam to assess mobility and determine the cause of the pain. Then we form a treatment plan which may consist of spinal adjustments, therapies, exercises, and modifications to daily activities.
