If you live in North Texas and you're experiencing pain or aching in your neck, you should seek the help of someone who specializes in treating neck pain in Frisco TX. At Life Changing Chiropractic, we know about all the kinds of musculoskeletal pain patients live with and we know how to give them the relief they need to get through the day.

Your neck is strong enough to hold your head all day; but it's also extremely flexible. That flexibility, while useful, also makes your neck highly susceptible to pain and injury. And pain and injury can have a variety of causes that include:
1 - Accidents

Unless you're an athlete participating in a sport, like football, that can lead to neck or spine injuries, the most common cause of neck pain in Frisco TX, related to external force, is automobile accidents. Whiplash is the sudden, forced movement of the head and neck in any direction and the subsequent rebound in the opposite direction. This whipping motion injures the surrounding, supporting tissues of the neck and, when that happens, muscles react by tightening and contracting. This tightening and contracting leads to muscle fatigue, which then leads to pain and stiffness in the neck.
2 - Getting Older

As we age, our musculoskeletal system - including our joints, tendons and ligaments - starts to break down. The degenerative disorders most of us experience as we age include:

▪ Osteoarthritis - A common joint disorder marked by the progressive deterioration of cartilage. The body's reaction is to form bone spurs that affect joint motion.

▪ Spinal Stenosis - Stenosis is the narrowing of the nerve passageways in the vertebra. This narrowing compresses and traps nerve roots and leads to neck, shoulder and arm pain and can even lead to numbness in these areas.

▪ Degenerative Disc Disease - The intervertebral discs can lose height and elasticity over time. This can cause discs to bulge or herniate, resulting in tingling, numbness and pain.
3 - Daily Life

Spinal balance can be disrupted by any number of factors, including obesity, poor posture and weak stomach muscles. When your spine is unbalanced, your head and neck bend forward to compensate. In addition, stress and emotional turbulence can lead to tightness and pain in the neck.
