Neck Problems
With all the neck's complexity it should come as no surprise that neck problems are common. They may develop suddenly from a trauma such as a whiplash or fall, or slowly as a result of spinal imbalance, vertebral subluxations, emotional stress or bad posture.
Damaged or irritated neck nerves can cause more than neck pain. Pain in the face, shoulder, arm, wrist, hand and fingers as well as reduced neck motion may also occur. Other problems from a bad neck include headaches, vision difficulties, dizziness, ringing in the ears, decreased attention span, learning and memory impairments, nasal problems, tongue and throat problems.
The most serious neck problems - such as fracture, dislocation or severe tissue damage - can be fatal if not given emergency medical care. Most other neck problems, however, although not life-threatening, can impair your health if not corrected.
