Neck Pain Treatment in St. Louis
Neck pain is one of the most common issues we see, especially with long hours at a desk or on phones. Typically, each joint in your neck should move freely and independently. When the joints don’t move freely it can lead to stiffness, headaches, and reduced mobility. This can develop in many ways for example from repetitive strains, poor posture, motor accident, or injury.
Symptoms
Neck pain caused by joint restrictions most commonly cause local tenderness and discomfort. You may notice that your range of motion is limited. Movement may increase your discomfort. Pain from a restricted joint often trickles around your shoulders and upper back.
