One cause of neck pain is a misalignment of one or more vertebrae which can pinch a nerve. Another cause may be the loss of the normal forward curve of the cervical spine.

Pinched cervical nerves may also cause arm pain or numbness down the arm into the hands.

The Chiropractic approach to treating neck pain is to realign the vertebrae. When a patient has lost the normal forward curve of the neck, the chiropractor, over time, restores the natural curve through a series of adjustments.
