How Common Is Neck Pain in Phoenix AZ, Exactly?

If you find yourself struggling with neck pain, then you're not alone. According to a 2010 study published in the International Association For The Study of Pain, up to half of all adults experience neck pain within any given year. Women, office workers, and middle-aged adults tend to be most likely to experience neck pain, while specific risk factors include smoking, repetitive work, prolonged neck flexion, a high stress job or lifestyle, and a previous history of neck or shoulder injury.
In addition to discomfort in the neck and shoulders, neck pain can also present other symptoms including:

• Headaches, dizziness, and ringing in the ears
• Jaw stiffness, discomfort, and pain
• Neck stiffness and decreased mobility
• Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, and fingers
• Impaired sleep

What Causes Neck Pain?

At Imagine Wellness, we work with hundreds of patients every year looking to heal from their acute or chronic (>3 months) neck pain, caused by any one of these most common issues:

• Muscle strain, often caused by repetitive tasks at work or in sports
• Whiplash, in which the neck is rapidly and forcefully bent forward and backward, such as during a motor vehicle accident
• Herniated or bulging disc, in which a gel-like disc between two spinal bones bulges out of place and puts pressure on a nearby spinal nerve
• Text neck, caused by prolonged and excessive cervical neck flexion typical of a person using a smartphone or tablet
