Neck Pain

Anyone suffering from neck pain understands just how much the pain can impact your day. Chronic neck pain can hinder your movement, restrict your activity, and even lead to painful migraines. One of the best options for treating neck pain is chiropractic care, such as the care provided by our chiropractor at Cedar Springs Family Chiropractic.  

What Causes Neck Pain?

Typically, neck pain is either acute or chronic. Acute neck pain can come from a direct injury to the neck area. This can be something like a fracture or tear to the soft tissues. A common injury that causes neck pain is a herniated disc.

Chronic can be caused by something as simple as poor posture, which can cause muscle fatigue. It can also be caused by a more complicated condition like arthritis. Neck pain can come from several different injuries and conditions, so it is always best to have a professional chiropractor examine the root cause of your neck pain and develop a plan to relieve it.

How Intense is Neck Pain

Neck pain can range in severity. It can be a simple, dull ache that stays consistent, or it can be a sharp and stabbing pain. Other symptoms commonly accompany neck pain, which may indicate that a secondary condition or injury exists. Numbness and tingling are commonly associated with neck pain. Usually, this means that there is a herniated disc that must be attended to.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

Chiropractors present a safe and non-invasive option to help treat neck pain. Using many different techniques, such as spinal adjustments, a chiropractor can restore the balance in the body. When the musculoskeletal system is in alignment, pain is reduced and muscles and joints are allowed to move freely, often reducing or eliminating pain. A chiropractor may use several different treatment techniques, evaluating and treating each patient as an individual case. If you are suffering from neck pain, a thorough evaluation will determine the right treatment options for you.
