Neck Pain Treatment from our Chiropractor

Our chiropractor diagnoses and provides neck pain treatment that remedies the underlying causes of pain without drugs or other invasive procedures. These effective, natural treatments restore correct vertebral alignment, release pinched nerves, alleviate soft tissue sprains and strains and help you improve posture so you can prevent future injuries. The treatments offered depend on what is causing the pain in the first place:

• Neck injuries like whiplash—When the head is suddenly whipped back and forth due to car accident injury, sports injury or other personal injury, the vertebrae can be jostled out of alignment. The muscles, ligaments and tendons are also strained. Neck pain, stiffness, headaches, difficulty focusing and even blurred vision can result. Our chiropractor provides spinal adjustments to correct subluxations in the vertebrae, combined with massage therapy and therapeutic exercises to heal the soft tissue injuries, relieve the painful symptoms and restore full range of motion in the neck.
• Poor posture habits—Frequent “forward head posture” (FHP) from looking down over a computer or other work surface, as well as poor sleep posture, etc. can slowly pull neck vertebrae out of alignment and cause the neck’s supporting soft tissues to become incorrectly conditioned to this nerve-pinching posture. Spinal adjustments, massage and therapeutic exercises, as well as ergonomics counseling are effective at retraining the soft tissues, strengthening neck muscles and providing neck pain relief.
• Stress—Stress often causes tension in the neck muscles and prevents people from concentrating on good posture. In addition to chiropractic adjustments to correct any subluxations, regular massage therapy is an excellent stress and tension reliever and also provides natural, holistic pain relief.
