Why You Should Turn to Chiropractic for Neck Pain Care

The cervical spine is the part of the spine found in the neck, it has a significant range of motion, and without its proper function, many of our everyday movements are hindered. 

Chiropractors specialize in caring for the soft tissues, joints, and spine and use non-invasive, natural methods to enhance overall wellness in each unique patient. Chiropractic offers many solutions that end pain by healing what’s causing it. 

Whether the cervical spine is out of alignment or pressure is being placed on soft tissues, a proper diagnosis of your injury will ensure you get the right treatment plan. 

With a holistic chiropractic approach, patients often find fast comfort, restored function and mobility, and increased energy so they can work, sleep, socialize, and exercise safely and painlessly without relying on pain medication. 

 

Chiropractors can end many symptoms associated with a neck injury, including:

• Dull, piercing, and radiating pain

• Loss of range of motion

• Inability to sleep comfortably 

• Inability to perform daily tasks

• Inability to focus or perform 

• Stress and anxiety 

 

Are Chiropractic Techniques Safe for Neck Pain?

Chiropractors have several solutions that can effectively, safely, and gently treat neck pain and injuries associated with neck pain. 

From sprains and strains to whiplash to a herniated disc to a chronic injury, chiropractic has the optimal methods to end your pain and restore your neck’s health and function. While each patient is different, in many cases, you’ll feel immediate relief after a treatment. 

Allowing your body to find balance through its natural healing is a responsible way to keep you away from aggressive medical practices that can cause significant downtime and lead to other dysfunctions. 

 

Chiropractic services to treat neck pain include:

• Chiropractic adjustments– a quick, controlled, and highly targeted thrust to an affected area of the spine will restore placement 

• Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization– using instruments to aid in soft tissue restoration and healing, we can end restrictions and promote the proper range of motion  

• Functional rehabilitation– customized exercises and stretches that work well with other services to help you meet your health goals quickly and safely, as strength is built

• Lifestyle guidance- education regarding several aspects of life, including postural support, workstation setup, warm-ups and cooldowns, ergonomics, and more so you can keep the results obtained in our clinic and further support your body

• And more

 

The patient’s safety is always put first, and chiropractors often design plans that utilize at least one modality to get faster results, along with take-home exercises and stretches to maximize body health and strength. 

 

Steps to help decrease your neck discomfort right now:

• Gently stretch the neck muscles: carve a line with your nose down, up, and side to side

• Rotate the neck

• Get off the device

• Support your neck with the proper sleeping pillows

• Perfect your posture

• Get up and move around if you’ve been sitting for a long period

• Ensure you lift properly 

• Do some yoga for the spine

• Apply ice to the neck

• Sit if you’ve been standing for a long period

 

When in pain, the body is communicating that it needs help, so while these tips may help you find short-term relief, you should talk with your local chiropractor as soon as possible to make sure you get the proper care for your injury. 

 

Whiplash Treatment

As discussed, neck pain can be due to a number of injuries and lifestyle choices, but one of the most common reasons for neck pain is whiplash. Most associate whiplash with a car accident; however, it can occur for other reasons as well.

Whiplash happens when the head is suddenly and violently forced forward and back. The soft tissues of the neck are stretched and strained to unnatural levels causing irritation, imbalance, and dysfunction.

At Tangelo, we work with many whiplash patients and can improve their neck’s comfort, motion, and stability so they can focus on other matters.
