Peterson Chiropractic and Dr. Gordon Kuang can help you handle the treatment for problems like neck and back pain in Midtown Manhattan, NY, and the underlying issues that cause this pain. Our team understands many pain factors influencing your neck and back issues.
Common Back Pain Triggers
Back pain is a fairly common problem that may worsen as you age. Many people don't use proper posture or put way too much strain on their backs and suffer. Other underlying issues may worsen this problem and cause serious long-term issues. Just a few triggers include:
- Lumbar disc herniation or when a disc bulges and leaks in your spinal cord
- Osteoarthritis that may develop as you age and become worse over the age of 60
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction that causes pain in your lower back and higher
- Lumbar degenerative disease that occurs when the spinal discs start wearing down
- Spinal stenosis or a narrowing of the spinal canal caused by various issues
- Bone spurs that may become very prominent in your back and spinal cord
- Injuries and strain caused by frequent overuse of the back
If you experience any of these common back problems, you might develop neck and back pain in Midtown Manhattan, NY. The neck pain may occur if these issues spread and become more persistent elsewhere. However, neck pain also has other independent causes to consider seriously.
Frequent Neck Pain Causes
While back pain can be quite devastating, neck pain isn't much easier to tolerate. Many different factors can cause pain in your neck, which can make it hard to move your neck along its full range of motion and may trigger other concerns. Just a few common factors that may cause neck pain include:
- Cervical osteoarthritis that can cause excessive friction in the neck's many joints
- Degenerative disc disease throughout the neck area that causes pinched nerves
- Herniated discs in the neck that cause severe pain to spread
- Stenosis in the neck that may narrow the spinal cord in this section
- Car accidents or heavy hits that put a strain on your neck muscles (whiplash)
- Sleeping poorly in the night in such a way that may damage or affect your muscle health
- Damage to supporting muscles or tendons in and around the neck
