Neck Pain – First Symptom of Serious Imminent Health Risks - Boise, ID

If you are struggling with the question, ‘is my chronic neck pain a serious condition?’ We have the answer for you! Neck pains are usually the first symptoms of serious health risks that you can develop in the future. This is because neck pains are often related to cervical spine abnormalities. As these vertebrae house the lower brainstem and spinal cord, which are the structures that transmits messages from the brain to the body and the body back to the brain, neck pains should not be ignored. These symptoms can be due to a much more serious, underlying cause.  Known as Atlas Subluxation Complex (ASC).

What If You Ignore Your Neck Pain?

Due to the sensitive anatomy of the cervical spinal joints, if these vertebrae are forced to tilt, shift or rotate abnormally, due to Atlas Subluxation Complex then neck pain may be the only indication at first. The neck pain that you are now experiencing is probably the first symptom of a major health risk that is about to follow.

Body Imbalance

If one of the upper two vertebrae is out of its normal position, the head will shift away from its natural center of gravity relative to the body below.  This results in body imbalance, extending from head to toe.  Your head will tilt to one side, and over time you will develop a low shoulder, a high hip, and a short leg, in virtually all cases your shoulder and hips will twist out of proper position as well. Chronic neck pain is an indicator that there is a problem in the upper cervical vertebrae. 

If this condition is not treated, the abnormal pressure on the vertebrae can lead to degenerative changes in the areas that come under high stress due to body imbalance. Therefore, even if you try taking medications such as painkillers to minimize the severity of the pain, the underlying cause has to be corrected and if it is not corrected the problem will only get worse over time.  

Restricted Brain Messages

Your neck pain can also be a symptom of a much more serious condition due to the misalignment of the upper vertebrae.   The abnormal position of the vertebrae can lead to distortion or constriction of the pathway for nerves and blood vessels that lead to and from the brain.  This hampers the proper transmission of nerve impulses to and from the brain.  Beginning with neck pain, the blockage of this pathway can interfere with the messages from the brain to the most important organs of the body, causing them to malfunction and not work correctly.
