Neck pain can range from mild discomfort to severe,
impairing symptoms. Commonly the result of
direct trauma from an accident or an
underlying condition, any degree of irritation to the cervical spine can
greatly restrict an individual’s ability to function. There are many treatment
options for people experiencing neck complications and treating them is crucial
towards preventing further, much more severe issues. Chiropractic care focuses
on diagnosing and correcting spinal complications to help relieve neck pain
symptoms and improve an individuals normal body functions.

When first visiting a chiropractor, its essential to provide
the medical specialist with as much detail relating to your neck pain,
including medical records and history that can outline the description and
symptoms of any prior injuries or conditions. Whether your type of neck
symptoms involve sharp or dull, throbbing or steady pain, explaining your
symptoms in detail to a chiropractor can provide valuable information to best
diagnose the root cause of an individual’s cervical spine complications. Taking
a copy of your latest x-rays can also help a chiropractor better determine your
type of neck pain. A chiropractor may use a series of simple motion exercises
to properly determine the extent of an individual’s mobility.
Chiropractors not only relieve neck, they find and fix the
cause of the problem at its origin. Subluxations, or spinal misalignments, are
frequent causes for neck and back pain. Spinal misalignments can be caused by
numerous factors, such as an improper posture or a sport-related injury. The
spine is surrounded by many complex tissues: muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves,
and blood vessels. In the presence of a subluxation of the spine, the vertebra
may stretch or compress any of these tissues, resulting in the well-known
symptoms of pain and discomfort and depending on the location of the symptoms,
neck or back pain may occur. Spinal misalignments frequently occur over time
and correcting them may require multiple sessions of chiropractic treatment,
even when the symptoms disappear.
Chiropractic care consists of spinal adjustments and manual
manipulations to the spine to progressively re-align the vertebra to their
natural state in order to improve functionality, reduce nerve irritation, and
restore the spine’s range of motion. After treatment, a chiropractor may also
recommend a series of stretches and/or exercises according to an individual’s
level of pain and symptoms, to strengthen the muscles surrounding the affected
area.
Individuals suffering from neck pain and other symptoms can
experience challenges in their quality of life. That’s why it’s important to
seek immediate medical attention and treatment for your neck complications to
help alleviate an individual’s pain and discomfort and restore your well-being.
