Neck Pain

The cervical spine (neck) consists of seven vertebrae, which are designed to consistently move, allowing you to turn your head freely. Physical trauma, accidents, postural weaknesses, repetitive movements, the effects of mental stress can all build up and lead to restricted motion and pain in the neck.

At The Cotswold Chiropractor we regularly see patients who report:

• Pain when moving the head and neck
• Pain/ pulling/ headaches at the base of the skull
• Pain and aching across the shoulders
• Stiffness and limited range of movement
• Pins and needles/ tingling or numbness down the arms and hands

Chiropractic adjustments help to encourage correct motion back into the joints, loosening up the tight muscles and reducing the surrounding inflammation which has been irritating the nerves.
