Neck Pain
“The groundwork of all happiness is health.” - Leigh Hunt
A stiff neck is frequently the result of improper posture, like sleeping in an awkward position or slouching at a computer desk for extended periods. The seriousness of neck pain escalates when it hampers everyday activities like turning your head or sleeping comfortably. When neck discomfort starts to affect your life, it's often due to a misalignment in your spine that exerts excessive pressure on the surrounding muscles, nerves, and ligaments.
A chiropractor is skilled in addressing the root cause and resolving the symptoms of a stiff neck. Experiencing regular or persistent headaches and neck pain can have a profound impact on your daily schedule and overall well-being. It's not unusual for these two issues to coincide, presenting as a rigid neck coupled with headaches that span from a dull ache to intense pain and nausea. Both the head and neck areas are vulnerable and prone to injury, making them problematic for many individuals. On occasion, neck pain can radiate to other body parts, like the shoulders.
At our clinic, we address neck pain by first identifying its underlying cause. To achieve this, we conduct a comprehensive chiropractic examination, which involves a thorough medical history. In situations where it is deemed medically appropriate, we may also conduct diagnostic X-rays. After pinpointing the root cause of your discomfort, various treatment options are provided at our office, including precise chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, stretching routines, exercises, and massage, which aim to effectively realign your spine without invasive measures, and ease pain in the head, neck, and shoulder regions.
