Expertise on How to Alleviate Neck Pain and Discomfort
Did you know that 37% of people over the age of 50 experience neck pain, and 59 million adults in America are affected each year? At The Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care, Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo (known by patients as Dr. Bo) specializes in treating back, spine, and neck issues. Neck pain is a frequent problem for many, often caused by sitting for extended periods, poor posture, or underlying health conditions. Depending on the severity, it can impact the overall quality of life.
The neck can also be referred to as the cervical spine. It is made up of bones, muscles, nerves, and joints, supporting the head and enabling movement. Its flexibility, however, makes it prone to injury and strain. Common causes of neck pain stem from nerve compression, muscle tension from overuse or poor posture, and injuries.
