What Causes Neck Pain?
Your neck goes through a lot of work every day. One of its main jobs is to support your head. Unfortunately, this job can become much tougher than it should be when you use poor posture or lean over your device for long periods. When your head is leaned forward, your neck has to support several pounds of extra weight – extra weight it is not intended nor conditioned to sustain. Tension and pain are common byproducts.
Pain in the neck can also be caused by injuries. The most common neck injury is whiplash, which typically occurs during auto accidents. The force from the collision whips the neck back and forth beyond its normal range of motion. This causes tears in the soft tissues of the neck, which lead to stiffness and pain in the neck, as well as headaches, trouble concentrating, and more.
Neck pain can also be the result of poor sleeping posture – namely, sleeping on your front or without proper support. And sometimes, an issue in the upper back can lead to neck pain.
How Can a Chiropractor Help
The first step in chiropractic treatment is determining where the root of your pain lies. From there, a customized treatment plan can be developed to include one or more of the following.
- Adjustments to restore proper alignment to the neck and back
- Decompression therapy to create space for the spinal components and relieve pressure from the discs in the neck and back
- Soft tissue therapy to reduce tension and inflammation, as well as restore range of motion and improve blood circulation
- Therapeutic exercise to help correct posture and strengthen the neck and back
- Lifestyle adjustments to correct habits that might be contributing to your neck pain
