Do you often wake up with a stiff neck? Feel like you always have soreness over the shoulders? notice you can't turn your head like you should be able to? Sometimes feel the tension going right up into your head, causing a headache? Or even find it often difficult to work on the computer or drive for a long period without having your neck tension increase?
Many citizen suffer from tightness, spasm or sore muscles in the neck. Often times if you feel the neck you can find hard nodules which are knots in the muscles or what I call trigger points. It is very common.

Usually the source of the problem verily stems from the neck spine and nerves in the neck. Why is this so? Well, to start, the nerves operate our muscle function. If there is pressure on nerves in the neck your muscles are not getting allowable communication, so they get imbalanced and don't work like they should. Next, a spine that is misaligned will not only lead to potential direct pressure on a nerve by a spinal bone or bones misaligned but also it can create an uneven ness in the spine so that the muscles are not balanced. For example, if your spine is not straight u and down from the front to back and has a curvature to the side then the side the curve is toward has a permanently stretched and tense muscle. The opposite side will have a shortened muscle. naturally because of mechanics you may be able to tilt more to one side whereas the other side is limited.
Let's take another example of the send head. From the side view our spine should have flat flowing curves. The neck should have a C-curve of 40-60 degrees. This keeps the spinal cord relaxed and the nerves that come off it free of interference. It also allows your spine to with stand the forces of gravity at it's best. It has been shown that for each inch of send head drift or carriage can cause 10+ more pounds of gravitational forces pressing down on you. Not to mention those muscles in the back of the neck that now have to work harder to hold the head up and in alignment.
So you can see from just two examples how misalignments can cause tension on the muscles and/or put pressure on the nerves causing pain and blocked communication of the brain and spinal cord to those muscles.
How can I get rid of this neck pain and tension?
Fix the cause - the unwanted misalignments and nerve pressure.
So, literal, the root cause - pressure on the nerves and misalignments and you will literal, the muscle soreness, tension, trigger points, and muscle pain.
