Neck Pain FAQs
- posted: Jan. 06, 2021
Auto accidents, repetitive strain injuries, and staring at smartphones or computers for a long time can put a strain on the neck causing pain and tension. Once the neck pain starts, it can be difficult to resolve without proper treatment. At Arlington Chiropractic Clinic P.C. in Arlington Heights, our team can help you get the relief you are seeking with gentle and effective chiropractic techniques.
What Is Neck Pain?
The neck, also known as the cervical spine, has multiple vertebrae, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that work with each other to help you move. When the soft tissues get irritated or inflamed, you can feel sensations like sharp pain, stiffness, tenderness, soreness, and pain that radiates around your neck and upper body. You may also experience limited motion of your neck.
When Should I Seek Treatment for Neck Pain?
If your neck pain is persistent, severe, or accompanied by other symptoms like numbness or headaches, it is time to see us for chiropractic treatment. Seeking treatment early prevents existing conditions from getting worse.
What Are Common Causes of Neck Pain?
With more people working from home, neck pain is on the rise. Most people do not pay attention to their work area and posture in the comfort of their own space. The act of looking down at a smartphone or tablet also puts pressure on the soft tissues and neck vertebrae. Whiplash from a car accident or sleeping incorrectly are other causes of neck pain. Repetitive motions that result in the overuse of the neck muscles can create muscle spasms or a stiff neck. Another cause of neck pain is due to pinched or trapped nerves. A trapped nerve can cause radiating symptoms into the arms or hands and make it difficult to move your head in certain directions.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help?
Chiropractic care for neck pain involves using gentle adjustments, massage and stretches to release trapped nerves, loosen stiff muscles, and reduce restrictions caused by tight vertebrae, tendons and ligaments in the neck. During treatment, our chiropractors treat the source of your pain but also look for other areas that may have been affected by neck pain. Releasing all of the impacted tissue through chiropractic technique is effective in reducing or eliminating the dependency on painkillers for relief.
