Neck pain is one of the most common complaints that Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor, sees in his patients. Most of the time neck and upper back pain is caused by a combination of factors. For instance, practicing poor ergonomics in the workplace can lead to neck and upper back pain. Having an ergonomically designed workstation that conforms to your specific responsibilities will increase productivity and reduce the risk of repetitive stress injuries. Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor, can give you custom recommendations for your workstation that will relieve your pain and reduce exacerbation of your current issues.
Recently, neck and upper back pain is usually the result from what is commonly known as “Tech Neck.” Tech neck occurs from holding your head in a forward and down position while looking at your cell phone or working on your computer. Some people even tend to unknowingly hold their head in a protruded forward posture while watching TV or reading. This incorrect posture causes misalignment in your neck, muscle imbalances and often produces pain.
Injuries sustained from an auto accident are also a popular culprit of neck and upper back pain. Rear end car accidents even with minor damage to your vehicle may lead to some form of whiplash. The motion of your head whipping backward and then forward putts unwanted pressure on the muscle/tendons causing over stretching and tears to occur. This will cause pain, discomfort and injuries that may not present for days or even weeks after your car accident. If you have been recently involved in an auto accident, remember that you only have 14 days from the accident to be evaluated or you will lose all your benefits!

Although living an active lifestyle and playing sports is considered good for your overall health, it makes it more likely for you to sustain a sports injury. Neck and upper back pain can result from taking a hit or falling during a recreational or competitive game. On the flip side, if you live a sedentary lifestyle and experience stress and tension, this also contributes to neck and upper back pain. This is because the muscles that run from the back of the head down the upper back begin to get weaker over time with lack of use. If you start activities to quickly, your muscles are not prepared, and this can cause strains/sprains. Dr. Ressler, Oviedo chiropractor, uses “trigger point therapy” to ease tension and alleviate the pain of the muscles in your neck and shoulders. Combining the adjustment with the soft tissue techniques enable you to recover faster and with better results.
