Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain

Neck pain is the most common type in our patients, with about 50% of the population experiencing it. The neck has seven vertebrae stacked on top of each other—the spine curves like the letter ‘C’ to the front and back. The natural curvature of the spine helps to absorb shocks from walking and running, but if this curve is too extreme or too little, it can cause problems in the neck.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Whiplash – Whiplash is an injury to the neck because of the forceful, quick forward and backward motion of the neck similar to the cracking of a whip. The most common cause of whiplash is rear-end car crashes.

Torticollis – Torticollis is a condition affecting the neck muscles that causes the neck to sink.

Fibromyalgia – Fibromyalgia is an illness that manifests as generalized musculoskeletal pain and fatigue. The condition is also associated with sleep, fatigue as well as mood and memory issues.

Osteoporosis – Osteoporosis makes bones weak and brittle. So brittle that even minor stresses like coughing or bending over can result in fractures.

Rheumatoid Arthritis – It’s an inflammatory and autoimmune disease. It means that your immune system attacks healthy cells within your body and causes inflammation (painful swelling) in the affected regions of your body. RA typically targets joints – typically multiple joints at a time.

Tech Neck – Also known as Text Neck – the bent neck places an undue strain upon the muscles of the lower cervical spine, which can cause repetitive stress injuries.

Poor Posture – A poor posture can lead to neck pain due to pulling ligaments and muscles which support the neck, which can lead to injury in the future.

What is Better for Neck Pain – Massage or Chiropractic Care?

The difference between massage and a chiropractic neck adjustment is that massage focuses on relaxation. As a chiropractor, we offer both.

What is Medical Massage Therapy?

Medical massage can provide relaxation with medical attention to the spine as well as the entire body as a whole. It aims to naturally heal our bodies by offering thorough care for the minor parts of our bodies that make us human. It improves our health and ensures that we are healthy through the hidden communication channels interwoven throughout the body.

When to See a Chiropractor for Neck Pain?

Are you experiencing one or more of the following symptoms?

– Pain in your neck that does not go away with rest or medication.
– Pain in your upper arms or shoulders.
– Headaches that won’t go away.
– Pain that radiates from your neck to your head, shoulders, arms, or hands.

It is likely time for a chiropractic neck adjustment if you experience any one or more of the symptoms above.

The Serious Consequences of Delaying A Chiropractic Neck Adjustment

The inability to recognize early signs can result in more severe ailments, such as disc compression, arthritis that is an early-onset diminution of lung capacity, and degenerative spinal disc disease. Do not wait until your neck pain becomes unbearable before you seek treatment. It is better to get a chiropractic neck adjustment when your pain is manageable to enjoy a higher quality of life. You must obtain a chiropractic neck adjustment if you suffer from neck pain.

Nerve pressure on neck disks can lead to numbness, weakness, and pain in your hands, arms, and legs – or even affect your entire body. We can help you by providing treatments that will help reduce the inflammation in your neck and help to provide relief.
