Neck Sprains & Strains
Your neck is quite flexible and it relies on muscles and ligaments for support. "Sprains" and "strains" in your neck are the result of these tissues being stretched in a way that is too hard or too far, much like a rope that frays when it is stretched beyond its normal capacity.
The good news is that with the right chiropractic care, you can see major improvements and get free from the pain.

Identifying Causes and Seeking Relief For Neck Sprains
Neck sprains and strains, commonly stem from auto accidents and sports injuries. They can also result from less traumatic activities like reaching, pushing, and prolonged overhead tasks.
Repetitive stressors, such as poor posture, sedentary lifestyles, and obesity, contribute to these injuries over time. While tendons and ligaments can handle isolated stressors, constant challenges lead to injury, akin to repeatedly bending copper wire until it breaks.
Symptoms, ranging from dull neck pain to stiffness, often develop gradually and may spread to shoulders or between shoulder blades. Tension headaches are common companions to neck injuries.
