Neck Pain
Often times a good treatment option for neck pain, is a chiropractic adjustment. However, it is also educating you with techniques to prevent re-injury and avoid neck pain in the future.
Neck Adjustment: How It Works
A chiropractor will adjust your neck which may relieve neck pain. Exercises focusing on strengthening and improving the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that support the vertebrae can help to. Some examples of neck therapy are:
- To stretch and strengthen muscles in the affected areas, accelerating the healing process by reducing neck pain and swelling, while making muscles more flexible and strong.
- To teach posture and other body mechanics that can protect the neck and spine, preventing future neck pain.
- Show patients how to take care of pain flare-ups if re-injury occurs.
Your chiropractor will always start by asking you questions designed to help figure out the scope of the problem, everything from your lifestyle to medical history. If your neck pain was caused by major trauma or disease, your chiropractor will make suggestions and a treatment plan.
