Neck Pain
Focused care for tension, whiplash-related irritation, reduced range of motion, and neck pain that keeps coming back.
Suffering From Neck Pain?
When you live with neck pain long enough, you know it is important to find the right chiropractor. Chiro 1st chiropractors offer focused care for neck pain that can make even the simplest movements involving the neck, head, arms, shoulders, and back feel difficult.
Neck problems can lead to headaches, upper body discomfort, and sore muscles. Immobility resulting from neck pain can cause the muscles to become weak and degenerate over time.
Neck Pain Treatment
Although the neck is a relatively small area of the body, it is comprised of complicated structures that do the important job of holding your head up. The small size of the vertebrae of the neck allows for a lot of mobility, but can also make the neck more vulnerable to injury and pain.
Some of the causes of neck pain include trauma such as whiplash, sleeping position, poor posture, repetitive stress, abnormalities in bone structure, joint issues, and muscle strains and pulls.
Most of these issues are either caused by, or impact, the alignment of the spine. When muscles in the neck go into spasm, the spine gets pulled out of alignment and the nerves become irritated.
Conventional vs. Holistic Treatments
Most commonly, people try to deal with neck pain using prescription or over-the-counter medications. This may help relieve symptoms in the short term, but the underlying issue often goes unaddressed.
Massage therapy can help reduce muscle tightness, but if the issue is in the bones or joints, the problem will remain. Chiropractic treatment is a holistic practice that addresses the structural cause that leads to the majority of neck pain.
