Can Chiropractic Care Resolve My Neck Pain?

If you suffer from neck pain, it can be frustrating to try to find lasting relief from your pain. If the pain is so bad, you might not be able to participate in all the activities you normally do, or focus and concentrate at your job. If someone has suggested chiropractic treatment to relieve neck pain, you might be wondering if this treatment will be effective. Learn how chiropractic care can treat neck pain and provide you with the peace you have been seeking.

How Chiropractic Care Treats Neck Pain

Neck pain can happen after an auto accident or sports injury or even after a night of sleep in a "wrong" position. You might ignore the pain at first by popping a couple of painkillers or using an ice pack to reduce inflammation. Even if the pain subsides over a few days, the underlying root cause of pain is not treated so you are more apt to experience neck pain again. Chiropractors can treat neck pain without the use of prescription medication or the need to perform invasive surgery by manipulating the spinal vertebrae that link to the neck and cause pain. 

Chiropractic Treatment Process 

Our chiropractor will perform a thorough new patient exam to identify the source of your neck pain. You may be feeling pain in your neck because a disc in the middle of your back is out of alignment.

Gentle adjustments will then be performed, to soothe inflammation, bring the spinal vertebrae back into alignment, and restore the range of motion in your neck. Through a series of gentle manipulations, our chiropractor will treat the root cause of neck pain so you can live a pain-free life going forward. Our chiropractor can also discuss stretching and strengthening exercises to keep your neck and back healthy and suggest other lifestyle changes to make to live a full, happy life.
