Candida: Not A Common Cause Of Chronic Neck Pain

by Eric Bakker N.D.

Candida infections can cause several symptoms. However, Candida is not a likely cause of all common health problems. For example, I have been asked if Candida can cause chronic neck pain. I don’t think it is a likely cause of ongoing neck problems.

My recommendation is to first investigate other possibilities such as whiplash, a sports injury, a posture problem, or stress. Many people spend far too much time on the computer. Too much sitting in front of the screen can cause neck, shoulder, and arm pain.

An osteopath or chiropractor can help sort out what’s causing the neck pain. A massage therapist may help reduce symptoms. Some people report that a new or different pillow improves their neck pain.

Digestive problems can indeed be associated with joint and muscle pain. However, I would look at other possibilities before pursuing Candida as the cause of chronic neck pain.
