What Are the Causes of Neck Pain?

The causes of neck pain are often related to the musculoskeletal system. They can include a narrowed spinal canal, herniated disc, other misalignments in the vertebrae, or muscle strain. This condition may also occur as a result of an injury due to improper posture while sleeping, working out, sitting at a desk for long hours, or doing strenuous activities.

When Should I See a Chiropractor for Neck Pain?

If you have been experiencing neck pain for more than a week, it is best to seek chiropractic care. This is because waiting too long can worsen your condition and prolong your recovery time. Our chiropractor will assess the degree of your condition and recommend suitable treatments to relieve your pain.

How Can Neck Pain Be Treated?

The treatment for neck pain depends on the source of the pain. Our chiropractor will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the cause of your neck pain. Treatment options for neck pain include manual adjustments, manipulation, soft tissue therapy, specific exercises, anti-inflammatory therapies, and traction for bulging or herniated discs. You may also need to undergo physical therapy and lifestyle changes to avoid straining your muscles in the future.

How Can I Prevent Neck Pain?

You can follow a few tips at home such as taking regular breaks from long hours of sitting, exercising regularly to strengthen your back muscles, and doing exercises that improve your posture. You should also monitor your posture while sitting at home or at a workstation to avoid putting too much pressure on your neck.
