Are You Dealing With Neck & Back Pain?

Headaches

Headaches can often be linked to tension and dysfunction in the neck joints, muscles, and tendons. Issues like joint dysfunction, arthritis, and muscle strain can all contribute to headache symptoms.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by sudden, forceful back-and-forth motion, often from car accidents or falls. Symptoms can include neck pain, stiffness, and headaches.

Poor Posture

Slouching or rounded shoulders for extended periods can put extra strain on neck and back joints, leading to pain and dysfunction.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of spaces within the spine, which can lead to pain and symptoms that are often worsened by prolonged standing or walking.

Herniated Disc

A herniated disc occurs when a disc in the spine presses on nearby nerves, often causing sharp
pain that can radiate down the leg or foot.

Sciatica

Sciatica refers to irritation of the sciatic nerve, causing radiating pain down one or both legs and is sometimes accompanied by weakness or tingling.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) affects joint cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. It often impacts weight-bearing joints like the hips, knees and lower back.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition where bone density decreases, making bones brittle and prone to fractures.
