Neck Pain Treatment
Neck pain can vary from a low intensity constant distraction, to a life halting pain that interrupts sleep, work, and play. This is because of the complex nature of the structure of the neck. Effective and safe treatment of neck problems always must start with detailed evaluation and proper diagnosis. Our doctors are neck pain experts. We can successfully diagnose, treat, and stabilize neck problems of all kinds. Don’t wait until your neck pain worsens. Call today to discuss your neck issues with our doctors.
Some of the most common causes of neck pain are:
- Postural imbalances (tech neck): Working at a desk, over usage of devices, many hours driving, or various other activities can lead to postural changes in your neck, shoulders and back. Over time this shifts important structural parts out of appropriate positions. This misalignment causes mobility restrictions, pain, trigger points and knots, and can lead to nerve pinches or headaches. By identifying the misalignments and correcting the improper posture, we can help you resolve the painful condition and prevent further injury.
- Accidents and whiplash: Accidents happen. Whether it’s a fall, a car accident, a sports incident, or various others. Your neck can get injured. Even small accidents or minor jarring events can lead to the neck being strained or injured. When left untreated these injuries lead to chronic pain conditions and often get much more difficult to correct. Our doctors have extensive experience and training in treatment after accidents. It’s best to treat these issues directly after the injury, but we can also help those who let time pass since the injury.
- Pinched nerves: Many of the nerves that control the upper body stem from your neck. When these nerves are pinched or inflamed, they can lead to sharp pain in the neck or shoulders, numbness or pain in the arms and hands, constant muscle tightness, or consistent migraines and headaches. These nerve pinches are a serious condition and should be evaluated and treated as quickly as possible to avoid permanent nerve damage. If you think you have a nerve pinched, call us right away to schedule an evaluation.
- Other causes: Many other problems can cause pain in your neck. These include birth and developmental injuries, stress, sports, weight lifting, pregnancy, caring for small children, cycling, and many others. This illustrates the need to have detailed evaluation and diagnosis to get the best results for the long term.
