Why does my neck hurt?

Usually because something is stuck.

Ok, now that I have said that let me say: your neck can hurt from MANY reasons, from sleeping on it wrong, to old injuries, to weak muscles, to poor postural habits, a new injury, and literally dozens of others.

But, one thing that can be common to all of those sources of neck problems is simply having 1 or more bones that are crooked or stuck in relationship to the bone next to it. Abnormal movement or position irritates tissue which creates discomfort. And irritation to nerve tissue can create numbness, tingling, and pain further from the neck like the arm, hand or fingers.

That is why chiropractic can usually be successful even when medications, massage, exercises and other approaches haven't solved the problem.

Could I still have problems from an old whiplash or neck injury?

Yes.

Whether it is one specific injury or several minor ones that you can think of, damage may accumulate over years, or have healed with excessive scar tissue. This scar tissue can be more sensitive than the original tissue and may also be more prone to being weak and re-injured. (When you think of scar tissue think of gristle in a steak.)

So the problem that some people have is that their personal situation might require periodic attention. Some things can't be "fixed" once a long time ago and then you expect never to have to care for it again.

But there was only a little damage to my car!?

It doesn't matter.

Whiplash injuries from auto accidents are very unique. And many times the amount of damage to your automobile is not pertinent. In some cases, the more stiff and rigid the frame of the automobile that absorbed the impact - the more amount of force was transferred to you inside. And sometimes the greater the crumpling of the car, the greater the cushioning effect to anyone inside. Truly there are many factors involved that need to be properly understood by your doctor, especially if there is any legal action associated with such a case.
