WHAT CAUSES NECK PAIN?
Everyday Strain and Stress
Neck pain often builds up gradually. Poor posture, prolonged computer work, stress, or repetitive movements can cause muscle fatigue, which leads to tension and pain. Over time, this strain can affect the way your spine moves, putting additional stress on the nerves and joints.
When spinal movement becomes restricted, nerve roots exiting the spine may be irritated. This can create localised neck pain, headaches, or even discomfort that spreads to the shoulders and upper back. Our chiropractors carefully assess these problems and provide tailored treatment to restore proper function.

The Role of the Discs
The discs between the vertebrae act like cushions, allowing flexibility and absorbing shock. When weakened or damaged, the soft inner part of the disc may push outward. This is often referred to as a “slipped disc,” though the correct term is disc bulge or prolapse.
In the neck, disc problems can cause:
-
Persistent neck pain
-
Pain, tingling, or numbness in the arms and hands
-
Weakness in the shoulders or grip strength
These symptoms should not be ignored. If left untreated, they may worsen over time. Our Sheffield chiropractors can assess your condition and recommend care to reduce irritation and improve mobility.
Whiplash
Whiplash occurs when the head and neck are suddenly forced backwards and forwards, most often in road traffic accidents, falls, or sports injuries. This sudden movement can damage muscles, ligaments, and joints in the mid-neck, resulting in stiffness, headaches, and reduced range of motion.
While some people recover quickly, others continue to experience ongoing pain for months or even years. At Hillsborough Chiropractic Clinic, using detailed orthopaedic and neurological examinations, we design a treatment plan that may include chiropractic adjustments, posture correction, and targeted rehabilitation exercises.
Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Chiropractic treatment focuses on restoring natural movement to the spine, easing pressure on the nerves, and reducing pain. Techniques may include adjustments, mobilisation, and soft tissue therapies. Our chiropractors may also recommend lifestyle changes such as workstation advice, stretching routines, or stress management techniques to support long-term results.The goal of treatment is not just to provide short-term relief but to help you regain confidence in your daily activities, whether that’s working comfortably at a desk, driving, or exercising without pain.
