Navigating Through Neck Pain
From gazing downward at digital devices for extended periods to sleeping awkwardly, neck pain often arises, prompting many people to seek chiropractic care. This type of pain, which we often see at the practice, can be marked by varying degrees of discomfort ranging from mildly bothersome to downright debilitating.
What Are Common Symptoms?
Neck pain often presents itself through symptoms like
- Stiffness
- Reduced mobility
- Headaches originating from the neck
- Pain radiating to the shoulders and arms
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Numbness or tingling sensations in the hands
Common causes of pain in the neck include poor posture, muscle strain, injuries, herniated discs, and arthritis. To create an effective care plan, we must first understand the underlying factors contributing to your discomfort.
Our Multipronged Approach to Care
We start with a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the exact causes of your pain. Then, your individualised care plan may include the following:
Adjustments & Exercises
Chiropractic adjustments are precise manipulations that realign the spine, reduce nerve interference, and ease tension in the neck muscles. We also incorporate therapeutic exercises tailored to bolster supporting muscles, enhance flexibility, and foster long-term stability.
Posture Correction
Our team provides comprehensive guidance on maintaining proper posture during daily activities and works to prevent recurring neck pain. We also recommend lifestyle modifications, including ergonomic improvements and stress management techniques.
Massage Therapy
This type of bodywork is used to alleviate muscle tension, boost blood circulation, and promote overall relaxation.
Patient Education
In addition to providing care, we believe in empowering patients with the knowledge and tools necessary to ward off future episodes of neck pain. This includes education on proper ergonomics, exercises to fortify the neck and upper back muscles, and effective stress management strategies.
