Causes of Cervical Pain (Neck Pain) from an Atlanta Chiropractor

An Atlanta Chiropractor comments:

Neck pain (also referred to as cervical pain) will affect almost everybody at some point in their lives. Whether you have had an auto accident injury in Atlanta or just slept in the wrong position, neck pain can have a serious negative effect on your daily activities. For those with severe or chronic neck pain, the pain can seriously deteriorate a person's quality of life.

Different types of neck pain are associated with a variety of different symptoms, but a licensed Atlanta chiropractor such as Dr. Senft has extensive experience determining the root cause of a patient’s pain. Different spinal conditions can cause complex pain symptoms that may often seem unrelated. Dr. Senft will begin by evaluating your individual symptoms and health history so he can treat the true problem instead of just the pain symptoms you are experiencing.

Some common symptoms that are associated with neck pain include:

• Pain becomes worse when moving the neck in certain ways or into certain positions
• Numbness or tingling
• Shoulder pain or stiffness 
• Sharp shooting pain
• Chronic headaches or migraines
• Difficulty swallowing
• Swishing sounds that seem to be coming from inside the head
• Dizziness or feeling lightheaded
  
• Gland swelling
• General feeling of ‘fuzzy headedness’

Since the onset of neck pain, some patients may notice that their neck ‘pops’ more on its own than it used to. This sometimes is an indication that the spine or neck is out of alignment and is trying to get back into the proper alignment.

Neck pain has many causes including degenerative disc disease, general neck strain, soft tissue injuries such as whiplash, a misalignment in the spine, a herniated disc or a pinched nerve. At Senft Chiropractic in Atlanta, Dr. Senft has extensive experience treating patients with neck pain, including chronic pain cases and injuries such as sport or auto accident injuries. Dr. Senft has a special interest in treating the symptoms of whiplash in Atlanta using pain management modalities and his comprehensive understanding of how whiplash affects the body.
