Neck Pain

Neck Pain & Chiropractic Care

Neck pain is a common complaint. The majority of adults at some point will experience neck pain, and it is often accompanied by other types of pain. The neck is a sensitive part of the body since it consists of many different joints, bones, ligaments, and nerves. This can make treatment more complicated than you might think. Our chiropractors at Heritage Clinic of Chiropractic in Delaware, OH, provide neck pain treatment along with a variety of other chiropractic services.

Causes of Neck Pain

Sprains and strains are among the biggest causes of neck pain. When the muscles and ligaments in your neck are overused, you may feel extremely stiff. This is common among people who look at their phone or computer screen frequently throughout the day, especially if you look forward and down quite often. A bulging or herniated disc can also cause neck pain. This condition often results in numbness, pain, and a tingling feeling that travels down your arms.

A serious injury can also be the cause of your pain. For example, you may have been in a car accident that caused a whiplash injury. Whiplash causes damage to the ligaments, discs, muscles, joints, and nerves in your neck. Sometimes, people experiencing serious neck pain live with a degenerative condition, which causes damage to parts of the neck over time. These diseases include arthritis, which can deteriorate cartilage and inflame the joints of the body.

How Chiropractic Care Treats Neck Pain

Chiropractors use many different techniques to address neck pain. Spinal manipulation, which involves the use of the hands or a special instrument, is especially helpful. In addition to spinal manipulation, our chiropractor may perform soft tissue therapy with tools. The chiropractor will also help you with a variety of exercises and stretches that will reduce pain and inflammation. This treatment also improves your range of motion and flexibility.

Other treatment modalities can help with your neck pain. For example, we may recommend electrical stimulation, which can stimulate the neck muscles. Ultrasound techniques can also relieve some of your muscle pain and stiffness, and cold laser therapy can reduce your inflammation.
