Coming back from a great Fourth of July weekend, you may be experiencing some unexplained neck pain. This neck pain may have been caused by looking up for a long period of time at a firework display over the weekend. This constant upward looking can irritate and compress the joints of the neck, leading to pain.
Fortunately, a quick neck adjustment a few times over the next several weeks can lead to a full recovery. Neck adjustments are meant to improve the mobility of your neck and spine and to reduce any pain you may be feeling. Patients will also typically notice an improvement in the ability to turn their neck or tilt their head with less soreness.
Tip: If you are prone to back and neck pain, bring a blanket to your next firework display outing and lie down to enjoy the show!
Schedule an appointment today to begin your road to independence from neck pain.
