Neck pain can often be unbearable to suffer through while other forms of neck pain may be more mild and benign. No matter what the issue, it is important that one know all they can about why they are suffering from Neck Pain in Fargo ND and exactly what the cause may be. Here are some answers to frequently asked question that patients most often have.
Q: Why does whiplash cause neck pain?
A: The injuries caused by whiplash can be quite extensive. When whiplash occurs, the muscles in the neck are hyperextended and hyper flexed. These actions can result in muscles being torn, the disc being herniated, and facet joints suffering from subluxation. All of these add up to cases of severe, and even crippling, neck pain.
Q: There was no accident or whiplash so why is there neck pain?
A: It could be from a myriad of reasons. Some people suffer from Neck Pain in Fargo ND because of poor posture while others may have a misalignment in their cervical spine. These reasons are actually quite common. Other reasons may be that a degenerative disease is underway or that abnormal structures in the vertebrae may be impeding the nerves. All of these reasons and more can lead one to experience neck pain.
Q: What does the term “text neck” refer to?
A: This is a problem of modern-day society and most often afflicts heavy users of smartphones and other mobile devices. It occurs due to the neck constantly being in a “droopy” position. This position puts unnecessary pressure on the neck muscles and on the cervical spine.
