neck pain doesn’t just happen overnight — it builds up over time.
Here are the top 3 ways people develop chronic neck pain without realizing it:
1️⃣ Poor posture – Sitting at a computer or phone with your head tilted forward all day.
2️⃣ Stress & tension – Tight shoulder and neck muscles from clenching or long hours.
3️⃣ Old injuries – Even a small fender bender or sports injury can leave lasting effects.
A couple of simple stretches to start easing the tension:
🧘♀️ Chin tucks – Gently draw your chin toward your chest and hold for 5 seconds.
💪 Upper trap stretch – Tilt your head to one side, gently holding for 10 seconds on each side.
But remember — stretches help with the symptoms, not the cause.
If you want real, lasting relief, get your spine checked at Rice Chiropractic and Wellness in Mission Valley.
We’ll find what’s causing the pain and get you feeling great again — before it gets worse.
