Neck Pain in Wilmington NC

It is close to impossible to help a patient with neck pain if you’re not sure of the location of the problem. At Wilmington Functional Medicine we use a variety of diagnostic tools to zero in on the source of the pain, which leads to the outstanding results we see.

The spine is one of the most complex areas of the body, with almost every systemic nerve running through it. Muscles connected to a region of the spine that is misaligned can spasm and tighten. This tightening is believed to be a defense mechanism of the body to protect the spine and spinal cord. Bad posture and repetitive motions are the most common causes of misalignment in the spine.

Many people allow spinal problems to go uncorrected hoping the pain will cease. However, even if the pain stops, the underlying cause remains. Over time the problem can exacerbate and the pain may return. Unfortunately, problems can continue to worsen until surgery may be the only option.

Common vs. Normal

If you have neck pain please don’t fall into the common vs. normal trap. This trap insinuates that because so many people have neck pain it must be normal. Neck pain is very common, but it is certainly not normal. This type of reasoning is why we see so many people with problems that can no longer be corrected. You don’t have to become a statistic. Take control of the problem before it’s too late.
