The Neck’s Role in Shoulder, Elbow, and Wrist Pain

Neck & upper Limb

The Neck's Role

in Shoulder, Elbow, & Wrist Pain

In the intricate chain of your upper body, the neck plays a pivotal role beyond its own comfort. Neck issues can cascade into discomfort elsewhere, leading to shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain. At Wynyard Chiropractic, we're dedicated to uncovering these connections and providing effective options to alleviate pain and restore harmony to your body.

Understanding that problems in the upper limb may stem from the neck, such as shoulder pain, elbow pain and wrist and hand pain, as demonstrated by a graphic highlighting the nerve track from the neck spreading across to the shoulders

Understanding the Link: Neck to Upper Limbs

Your body operates as a unified system, and the neck acts as a crucial junction. Joint restrictions or tension in the neck can transmit strain through the nerves, affecting the entire upper limb chain. If your neck is stressed, it can cause:

  • Shoulder Pain: Nerve compression in the neck can radiate pain to the shoulders, leading to pain, increased muscle tension, and decreased mobility.
  • Elbow Discomfort: Neck issues may contribute to nerve irritation, causing symptoms like tingling and discomfort in the elbows.
  • Wrist and Hand Ailments: Nerve pathways extend to your wrists and hands, which can be impacted by neck-related problems, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.

Common Neck Related Issues we Help Address at Wynyard Chiropractic

  • Elbow Pain: Chiropractic care targets tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and nerve-related discomfort originating from the neck.
  • Wrist and Hand Pain: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist sprains can be alleviated by addressing neck-related nerve compression.
  • Headaches and Migraines: Neck misalignments often contribute to headaches and migraines. Our care focuses on spinal alignment and nerve function.
