Neck and shoulder pain are common problems. The neck and shoulders have various types of nerves, bones, ligaments, and other structures. This means that many conditions can result in shoulder or neck pain. It could be due to a personal injury or degenerative health condition. At Dr. Gary Martin, Irvine Chiropractor, we will get to the source of your neck and shoulder issues. With over 25 years of experience, you will get the personalized care you need to find relief.

What Causes Neck and Shoulder Pain?

A variety of issues can lead to neck or shoulder pain. We have gathered some of the common culprits for these problems.

Going back to school - School involves sitting for long hours and getting involved in strenuous activities. Furthermore, haling around a heavy backpack all day can cause a lot of stress.

Working from home - Sitting at a desk for several hours can stress your neck and shoulders leading to pain.

Personal injuries – These injuries may result from sleeping in an awkward position that leads to pain around your neck area.

Sports injuries - Lifting heavy weights or playing sports are also common causes.

Accidents - Car accidents can lead to whiplash, which is focused around the neck area.

Degenerative conditions such as arthritis also cause normal wear and tear of the muscles leading to pain in the neck and shoulder region.
