We all know that pain in the neck is no picnic. But did you know that neck pain is a surprisingly common ailment? In fact, neck pain is one of the most common reasons why people seek out chiropractic care. But who exactly is most at risk for developing chronic neck pain?
For starters, women are more likely to experience neck pain than men. This may be due to the fact that women tend to have smaller necks and less muscle support around the neck area. Additionally, older adults are also more susceptible to neck pain, as the neck muscles and joints become weaker with age. Finally, anyone who spends a lot of time hunched over a desk or computer is also at an increased risk for neck pain, as this position puts added strain on the neck and shoulders.
So if you're suffering from neck pain, you're not alone. In fact, you're in pretty good company! Just remember to take it easy on yourself, and don't forget to give your neck a break every once in a while.
