Neck Pain/Shoulder Pain/Arm Pain

Neck Problems can be felt in one or more regions of the neck, shoulder or arm. Sometimes neck problems may not even cause neck pain but only be felt in the shoulder or arm.

Shoulder and Arm Pain is pain that radiates along nerves that start in the neck and follows them as they go down past the shoulder to the arm and hand. This may occur in either arm, or in both.

It is caused by irritation of the nerve(s) and unfortunately this can happen from several causes, so finding a remedy is not always straight forward and getting a chiropractor to assess and diagnose the cause is an important first step to solving this problem.
