Obviously, neck stiffness and lack of motion can be due to alignment issues in the neck. Neck pain can feel like shoulder and upper back pain. Pain can even radiate into the middle back, pain between the shoulder blades, or can feel like rib pain. Headaches and migraines can also be associated with issues in the neck. Sometimes one may not even experience neck discomfort and still have headaches caused by misalignments in the neck. Jaw pain or TMJ can be associated with neck pain or neck misalignments. Numbness, tingling, and/or weakness (carpal tunnel-like symptoms) can be caused by neck misalignments. Dizziness and vertigo can also be related to misalignments in the upper part of the neck.
