Neck Pain
Research has shown that up to 70% of the population will have neck pain during their lifetime with about 50% of people having experienced neck pain in the past 6 months. Neck pain can stem from a variety of tissues in the body and can make performing daily tasks such as sleeping, driving, and working difficult.
