Neck Pain as a Result of an Auto Accident

The neck is a very important part of the human anatomy. It supports the head, it gives a frame to a number of different bodily symptoms and it provides pivotal protection to the spinal cord. That is why it is so potentially devastating when something happens to ones neck. One of the most common injuries that one can sustain is whiplash. Whiplash occurs when the neck is thrust forward and hyper extended. The body then undergoes a process similar to a doctor applying a splint. However, it is not the only condition that one can develop. That is why it is so important to see a health care professional following an auto accident. 

Provided you are not in any immediate life threatening danger, a chiropractic care professional is a great resource for overcoming your pain. An experienced chiropractor, like those at Arrowhead Clinic Madison, have a plethora of tools for diagnosing your specific condition. These range from hands on examinations to x-rays. An accurate diagnosis will help your chiropractor develop your optimum recovery treatment plan.

Other Causes of Neck Pain

• Poor Posture Caused by Being at a desk too long placing additional stress on your cervical discs
• Having your computer monitor set too high or too low during the day causes muscle imbalances throughout your upper back and neck  musculature
• Twisting your head too rapidly 
• Sleeping with an incorrect posture
• Exercising without proper form 

There are many various demands that are placed on the cervical and upper thoracic spine throughout the day. The neck creates stability for not only the head but also the shoulders and upper body. It provides you with the needed support to stand up straight, the flexibility to flex, extend, glide, twist and protects the delicate spinal cord that passes through the spinal column.

Your neck is composed of 24 movable vertebrae that begin in the upper torso and end at the base of the skull. The hard vertebrae along with the ligaments (which are similar to thick rubber bands) provide stability to the spinal structure while the gelatinous discs provide shock absorption. The muscles allow the neck to glide smoothly for motion and provide necessary support.

The neck has a notable amount of motion and supports but, because it has less protection than the rest of the spine, the neck is more easily exposed to injury and disorders that produce pain and restrict motion.

For many people, neck pain is a continuous issue that can potentially cause terrible discomfort if it goes untreated. Also, because the sensitive nerves of our arms initially move through the cervical spine, any damage to a particular region of the neck can start leading to burning, tingling, numbness and weakness down the arms.

It is crucial to be seen by a Chiropractor as soon as possible if you believe you are suffering from any Neck Pain symptoms in Madison, TN. If nerve damage continues to persist, it may have a long-term effect on the quality of your life.
