​​It’s about restoring function to your nervous system which coordinates every bodily function and this is especially true when treating neck pain, which can linger for no particular reason. The condition emanates from the upper cervical part of the spine and the treatment required will aid in . people experience amazing improvements with their health and wellness through the use of consistent chiropractic care.

What causes Neck Pain?

​You may have had an minor accident, or fallen in a funny way.  You might even have slept the 'wrong way' and woke with a stiff neck. There’s a big difference between a stiff neck and one that hurts so bad that it makes you feel dizzy and frightened to turn your head. You wonder, is it “bad enough” to see a chiropractor for your neck pain? If you aren't sure you can try some home remedies such as cold packs on your neck, keeping it on for 20 minutes and off for 30 minutes. Gently stretch your neck and move your head around but not abruptly, you may find the pain of doing that very intense and do some harm. One thing we recommend is that if you are having a lot of difficulty moving your head side to side, it's probably best you don't drive until this restriction clears up.  

Here are some guidelines to determine if it's time to see the Chiropractor:

• You have suffered with your neck pain and stiffness for more than a few days ;
• Looking to the right or left is extremely painful. No pain has ever been fun.
• You feel like you need pain medication pretty badly;
• Your neck pain has moved; you feel numbness or tingling in your hands or wrists;
• You’re worried that a more serious cause is behind your symptoms;
• Maybe you began to feel this pain after a minor car or other type of accident;
• Your neck pain is worse in the early morning; then begins to feel a little better later on. 

Chiropractic treatment for Neck Pain

If the symptoms are like those above and do not seem to improve in a few days then it is probably time to book an appointment.  We are totally concerned with pain control and treatment hat will bring about a relief of the symptoms and address the stiffness causing the pain.  Often the muscles around the neck become sore and overextended which in turn can lead to the vertebrae to shift out of proper alignment.  

The treatment will consist of manipulation, (gentle, we know you're in pain), as well as massage and exercises. We will carefully look at all aspects of motion and the consequent pain and we will likely x-ray the area to make sure we are treating the injury properly. Our goal is always to create a balanced spine free of subluxation and help you to a pain free way of life. Don't hesitate to call if you are worried about your neck.
