Are you a woman and suffering with persistent neck pain? Do you experience stabbing pain and inconvenience because of a stiff neck? Are you unable to move your sore neck or turn your head to the side? Besides neckache, do you suffer with headaches and shooting pain that travels from the neck to the shoulders and arms? Are you frustrated that medications don’t work anymore?
Neck pain can be worse for some people, like in the case of women. Unfortunately, women tend to have more severe neck pain than men. As a result, many women seek neck pain remedies like chiropractic atlas adjustments.
Let’s help you understand why neck pain is worse for women and getting to the root cause of your neck pain symptoms can improve the quality of your health and life. We will introduce you to Upper Cervical Chiropractic, a precise approach to help your body heal without medications.
Several studies have shown that female patients experience pain worse than their male counterparts due to various factors. These include the following:
Women are also more likely to develop cervical disc disease – one of the leading causes of an achy neck. According to a study conducted by Loyola University Medical Center, females with intervertebral disc problems outnumber male patients by a ratio of 3:2. If you have a cervical disc disease, you likely have hallmark symptoms such as a stiff neck and numbing or tingling sensation. Your neck also feels worse when you tilt your head or stay upright.
Cervical disc disease is one of the many health problems of people seeking chiropractic atlas adjustments. Interestingly, studies have found that changes in cervical spine alignment can cause significant health problems. That’s because when the topmost neck bones shift out of place, they can tug on nearby muscles and nerve tissues; and because the misalignment can trigger inflammation in various sections of the spine, it can most certainly increase risks for degenerative disc diseases. Thankfully, there are ways you can mitigate your risks or reduce the pain you experience. Some of the options you can explore include the following:
As a rule of thumb, you should keep an eye out for lingering neck pain symptoms. Usually, If your pain doesn’t improve within a few weeks, you should consider seeking a healthcare professional. Likely, it’s not a simple muscle strain problem but a disc issue, neck bone misalignments, inflammatory condition, or a combination of various health concerns. The sooner you can get your neck checked out, the better prognosis you will have. It will also help you address long-term issues and complications. 
Neck pain is among the key symptoms that warrant a chiropractic atlas adjustment, especially after a traumatic injury like a whiplash, concussion, or sports-related injury. Have you been in a freak car accident and had a whiplash injury? Have you had a sports injury that affected your neck or head? Were you ever a victim of physical abuse? Were you ever thrown from a horse and hit your head or neck?Accidents and injuries affecting the neck and the head can cause the ligaments in the upper neck to be damaged, misaligning the upper neck bones. When this happens, the rest of the spine becomes under stress, resulting in chronic neck pain symptoms. Consider seeking Upper Cervical Care if your aching neck keeps bothering you. An Upper Cervical Chiropractor can determine how badly your upper neck has misaligned using advanced imaging and a scanner. They will also create a care plan to correct it. Schedule a quick consultation at a local practice to confirm if you have an undetected neck misalignment. Get it fixed and begin your path to naturally improving your neck and overall health.
