Can a Chiropractor
Help with Neck Pain?
Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Chiropractic care is an effective, natural treatment option for neck pain. Chiropractors use gentle manipulations to realign the spine and help restore proper movement in joints, reducing inflammation and relieving pain.
Our office specializes in corrective chiropractic care, so in addition to spinal adjustments, your doctor may recommend exercises that promote flexibility and strength in the neck muscles for the long term.
We may also provide lifestyle recommendations such as ergonomics for workstations or applying heat or cold to sore spots. While there are many causes of neck pain, symptoms can be significantly reduced with routine chiropractic treatments and regular at-home exercises.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common condition that can be caused by a variety of factors. Poor posture, prolonged sitting or standing, and overuse of muscles in the neck area are all common causes of neck pain.
Whiplash and other injuries from car accidents, contact sports, or falls can also lead to neck pain. Certain medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, spinal stenosis, and herniated discs may cause chronic neck pain.
Poor Posture
Physical Strain
Mental Stress
Injuries
How “Text Neck” Affects Your Spine
Nowadays, text neck (often known as tech neck) is a common issue. It happens when we spend a lot of time staring down at our phones and other electronic devices. This puts unnecessary stress on the neck muscles and spine, causing discomfort, headaches, and long-term problems like chronic lower back pain. If left untreated, it may also result in permanent posture abnormalities – and that’s no fun!
A chiropractor can help you get rid of text neck pain and realign misaligned vertebrae in your spine. Chiropractic adjustments (like those done at Ponte Vedra Spine Center) can enhance posture, flexibility, and range of motion. Of course, developing good habits is important too. By taking periodic breaks and adopting good posture, you can help correct text neck and avoid pain.
The Ponte Vedra Spine Center’s Approach
During our procedure for neck pain, the chiropractor will use their hands to apply pressure and make adjustments to the vertebrae in your neck. This helps to realign the spine and reduce tension on the muscles and nerves in your neck. We may also perform massage or other soft tissue techniques to help relax any tense muscles in the area. In addition, we may use stretching exercises or other manipulations of the spine that can help alleviate pain and improve range of motion.
