NECK PAIN
The neck is an integral part of the body for the simple fact that it solely supports a bowling ball –
the head. It does this with the assistance of the bones located at the top of the spine and other
muscles and ligaments. Maintaining a balance of everything can be a tough job. More than one-
quarter of the entire american population suffers from neck pain.
Symptoms of neck pain include headaches, shoulder pain, tingling or numbness of the arms, and
dull aches or sharp shooting pains around the neck area.
