Necks Are Pivotal – Are You Caring For Yours?
Necks consist of vertebras, the spinal cord, part of the respiratory and digestive tracts, glands, nerves, muscles, tendons, cartilage, and other soft tissues. Your neck is a vital element in your day-to-day function.
Our neck allows us to move our head from side to side, up and down, enabling us to look at many angles without having to shift our whole body. They protect the crucial nerves that travel from our brain down into the rest of our body, allowing messages to reach right down to our toes. They house beneficial elements that contribute to our ability to breathe, swallow, speak, and control our metabolism. So, when things aren’t working as intended in our necks, there can be significant consequences.
Types Of Neck Pain.
Because necks do a lot for us, it’s understandable that neck pain is a common issue. When it occurs, it can make a host of activities difficult and uncomfortable, such as sleeping, driving, and having a conversation. Watching a tennis match would certainly be out of the question!
Neck problems can cause various types of neck pain, such as aching, tenderness, burning and stabbing pain, and can also create issues such as stiffness, headaches, shoulder pain, and tingling fingers.
Neck pain can have various sources, such as health conditions and injuries. Pain is present to alert us to these factors; it’s our body’s way of saying ‘something is wrong.’

Whiplash
Arthritis
Disc Injuries
