Neck pain can make it difficult to live an active lifestyle the way you want. At Living Well Chiropractic, serving Gilbert and the surrounding areas, we can provide treatment and pain management options to reduce or eliminate your neck pain.
What Causes Neck Pain?
Neck pain can be a result of several factors. The neck is made of both soft tissues and bone. Pain can be a result of a problem with one part of the neck or a combination of problems all happening at once.
One common cause of neck pain is sore, overused muscles. When muscles are overused or pulled, they can tighten and shorten. This can also be caused by stress. This will lead to pain as the tightened, shortened muscles pull on the vertebra and tendons in the neck.
Another cause of neck pain can be problems with the upper cervical spine. This is the topmost part of the spine. The pain could be caused by the spine getting out of alignment. Another spinal issue could be a slipped disc which is also quite common.
How a Chiropractor Can Help
If you are experiencing neck pain, chiropractic care can help. Neck pain treatment has been foundational in chiropractic care for decades. Let's look at some of the treatments available for neck pain:
Spinal Adjustment - A spinal adjustment can often solve neck pain issues. When the spine is not in proper alignment it will cause pain and nervous system malfunction.
Spinal Decompression - If you are dealing with a slipped disc, spinal decompression therapy can help. This type of treatment will gently pull the vertebra of the spine away from each other. This allows for a better flow of oxygen, blood, and nutrients to get to the discs so that they can heal.
Massage Therapy - Massage therapy can be very beneficial if you are experiencing tight muscles in your neck.
