Understanding Left Side Neck Pain

left side neck pain, Upper Cervical Chiropractor in Redwood City

Neck pain is a prevalent issue that various factors can trigger. Among the many variations of neck pain, left-side neck pain is one of the top complaints among patients. While occasional neck pain on the left side can result from fatigue, improper sleeping positions, or everyday activities, if it happens too often, you may need to look closer into potential causes and solutions to ease your discomfort and reclaim your life. Additionally, it’s highly recommended to consult with an Upper Cervical Chiropractor in Redwood City.

 

Causes of Left Side Neck Pain

Neck pain on the left side can vary from mild to severe. Common culprits include tension or muscle strain, compression of nerves, whiplash, cervical radiculopathy, acute torticollis, degeneration of cervical discs, meningitis, cervical fracture, or herniated cervical discs. However, one often overlooked but significant contributor to left-side neck pain is a misalignment in your upper cervical spine.

 

The Role of Upper Cervical Misalignment

The misalignments of your upper cervical bones can be attributed to accidents or injuries from many years ago or the accumulated stress from poor posture. When the bones in the upper cervical region become misaligned, they can put undue pressure on surrounding nerves, muscles, and tissues, leading to discomfort and pain. This misalignment disrupts the natural balance and alignment of the spinal bones, affecting the overall function of the neck and the entire body. They also do not heal on their own, so your symptoms can keep happening and worsen over time.

Upper cervical misalignment can manifest as persistent neck pain on the left side, along with other symptoms such as headaches, muscle stiffness, and limited range of motion affecting overall mobility. In some cases, the discomfort might radiate to the shoulders and arms, further affecting daily activities and quality of life.
