Your neck is jam-packed with nerves, glands, tubes, blood and lymph vessels, and 48 different joints plus your brainstem, spinal cord, spinal column, muscles, tendons, fluids, meninges, and more. It also balances your heavy head! Neck problems can be caused by poor posture, repetitive habits, and trauma.
Your brain "talks" with the rest of your body through an extensive communication system mostly made up of nerves. While some nerves go straight to their destination, others first form nerve networks called plexus. You have a number of these nerve plexuses in your body: the cervical plexus on each side of your neck; the brachial plexus near your shoulder; the solar plexus near your stomach; and many, many others, both large and small. Your brachial plexus is made up of nerves which come out from the lower portion of the neck.
If you place your fingers in front of either ear and wiggle your jaw, you'll feel an opening that changes shape. Nearly 30 percent of Americans have TMJ problems. The symptoms may include severe headaches, loss of hearing, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), shoulder, cheek, jaw or tooth pain, nausea, and dizziness.
