Whiplash Neck Pain Treatment in Laconia

What is Neck Pain?

Neck pain is discomfort or stiffness in the cervical spine, which may result from injury, poor posture, stress, or underlying health issues. Whiplash, a specific type of neck pain, occurs when the neck is forcibly and rapidly moved back and forth, often due to car accidents or sports injuries.

Symptoms of Neck Pain

Common symptoms of neck pain and whiplash include:

• Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the neck
• Sharp or aching pain in the neck, shoulders, or upper back
• Headaches, often originating from the base of the skull
• Tingling or numbness in the arms or hands
• Muscle spasms in the neck or shoulders
• Dizziness or difficulty focusing (especially with whiplash)

If left untreated, neck pain can worsen, leading to chronic discomfort and decreased quality of life.
