6 Factors to Consider When Diagnosing Neck Pain

The exact cause of neck pain can be difficult to diagnose unless the doctor has a complete patient history. This is vital for him or her to be able to provide the patient with the best care possible. Let’s take a closer look at some important factors to include when speaking to your doctor, and then we can discuss a drug-free alternative that has helped many with neck pain. 

6 Important Factors to Include in Your Patient History

  1. Injuries: No matter how long ago the injury was – even many years ago – it can play a major role in neck pain.
  2. Habits: People are habitually looking down at their electronic devices, often leading to neck problems. The term text neck has been coined because of this.
  3. Sleep positions: If neck pain is often worse in the morning, one’s pillow or sleep posture may be to blame.
  4. Employment: Neck problems are often linked back to the workplace, due to manual labor or desk jobs (looking at a computer screen all day).
  5. Posture: If one does not have correct posture, neck pain may develop slowly over time. 
  6. Symptoms: Being specific about what symptoms go along with the neck pain and if they occur gradually or come about all at once can help determine the root cause. 

Neck Pain Relieved by Upper Cervical Chiropractic


It has been repeatedly seen that a misalignment in the atlas bone – the top bone of the spine – can be an underlying cause of neck pain. This bone is susceptible to misalignment due to its shape and mobility. Things such as trips and falls, vehicle accidents, everyday wear and tear, and sporting injuries can all be reasons for the atlas to move out of place. Upper cervical chiropractors understand the delicate relationship between this bone and the health of the overall body. They employ a gentle technique that allows the bone to move back into place without cracking or forcing the spine, often resulting in relief for neck pain.
