Lower Neck Pain

Whiplash injuries, sleeping on your stomach, computer work, phones, texting, sports injuries and activities of daily living can contribute to lower neck and upper back pain and stiffness. Headaches, shoulder pain, arms and hand radiating pain, numbness and tingling can all be manifestations this type of stress accumulation.

The lower neck and upper back is also a major spine transition area where vertebrae with ribs (thoracic spine) transitions to the neck (cervical spine). This is a critical area for our peace of mind and general life enjoyment. There is a solution to chronic and acute lower neck and upper back pain. For a lasting solution, the root causative patterns need to be identified and resolved completely. Thankfully, when the body is adjusted properly, it will hold onto the corrections made and become a more stable and efficient system.

Using a light force impulse, complete adjustments can be made when relaxed without any joint popping or cracking.

The lower neck and upper back can certainly be an area of symptom focus although the entire spine, when functioning and existing in an optimum state, works together. Stress of all kinds can accumulate and be stored in the spine. Continued stress accumulation and the resulting compensations our body consciously and sub-consciously makes can cause the spine to stiffen with muscle spasms and joint fixations. The entire body needs to be addressed when treating the lower neck and upper back including the shoulders, clavicles, lower back and upper neck. Thankfully, this process can be accomplished in very few visits with lasting effect.

The lower neck is also related to metabolism through the proximity and influence on the thyroid gland. Also, when the neck is not working, motivation for exercise and doing things we love tend to be put off.
