Neck Pain
Nearly all of us will suffer from headaches or neck pain at some point in life. Headaches (chronic and acute), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and neck pain can be caused by many factors.
Often if left untreated, even minor periodic headaches or neck pain can be signs of early cervical degeneration and could easily lead to cervical radicular pain with symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling and/or burning through the arm and into the hands and fingers.
Treatment
Initial treatment will focus on centralizing symptoms through manipulation and mobilization of the cervical and thoracic spine. Posture re-education and scapular strengthening will be a primary focus. Specific strengthening will improve control of neck and shoulder to prevent future pain.
