Is Your Neck Pain Serious?

Is Your Neck Pain Serious?

Neck pain is common—but sometimes, it’s a sign of something more.

Most of the time, neck pain comes from everyday causes like muscle strain, poor posture, or stress. It might feel worse on one side and may go away on its own. But when neck pain comes with other symptoms, it may indicate something more serious that needs attention.

Signs Your Neck Pain Could Be More Than a Simple Strain

🔴 Neck pain with fever, vomiting, or extreme stiffness
This could be a sign of meningitis, a serious infection that requires immediate medical care. If you can’t touch your chin to your chest and you feel drowsy, confused, or sensitive to light—seek emergency care right away.

Tingling, numbness, or weakness in your arms or hands
This may point to a herniated disc or spinal nerve compression. Chiropractic care can often help relieve pressure and restore function.

🌧️ Neck pain with widespread muscle soreness or joint issues
This could be a symptom of fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis, both of which affect your muscles, joints, and connective tissue. A chiropractor can help identify patterns and provide relief or appropriate referrals.

🚗 Neck pain after a car accident
This is often labeled whiplash, caused by a rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck (called cervical acceleration/deceleration trauma). Even minor fender benders can lead to lasting pain if untreated.
