Do You Have This Common Cause of Neck Pain?

Are you suffering from neck, back, and/or shoulder pain? Does your pain begin as tension in the upper back and creep upwards until the pain shoots upwards causing a piercing headache? Does the pain settle over or behind your eye or at your temple?

If you answered “yes” to any of the wbove questions, you may have one of the most common causes of neck pain and headaches. I see this problem in my practice almost on a daily basis. And there is usually a quick fix for it too.

The culprit may be a myofascial trigger point (muscle knot) in one of your muscles between your neck and upper back/shoulder area.

The most common muscle trigger points I see in my practice pop up in these muscles: the trapezius, the elevator scapula, the rhomboid. If you have a “fired up” trigger point in one of these muscles, you will have pain, stiffness, and will not be happy.

The most common causes of these trigger points includes: muscle strain, repetitive poor posture, whiplash, stress overload, and/or spinal joint dysfunction.

Injuries(even small ones) from years ago, such as car accidents, falls, sprains/strains, can be the cause of your neck pain today.

But the solution can be simple, virtually painless, and fairly quick. You’ll need to take action.

What makes trigger points so tricky, is the fact that they send out pain to other areas of the body. This means that your trigger point in your shoulder area can create pain in your neck and head.

It’s my job to find out the cause of your pain, and develop a natural solution to get you out of pain and back to life as quick as possible.

Over years of practice, I have developed the skill to locate hidden trigger points in your neck and back. Through a consultation and exam I can also figure out possible causes and develop of plan to help you get out of pain and avoid a possible relapse.
