Chronic neck pain from an injury or condition can worsen your quality of life and impact your ability to perform even the most mundane tasks.

Causes and Symptoms of Neck Pain

While pain and discomfort are the most common symptoms of chronic neck pain, you can also experience shoulder pain, headaches, or a stiff neck. The severity and symptoms of your neck pain depend on the cause. For example, whiplash from an auto accident can cause severe neck pain and limited mobility alongside shoulder pain and headaches.

Another frequent cause of neck pain is a condition called text neck. Text neck occurs when you incline your head forward for extended periods while texting or using a digital screen. The further you lean your head forward, the more pressure your neck receives. Leaning forward to text can cause up to 60 pounds of pressure on your neck, causing pain and restricting mobility.

Other causes of neck pain can include poor posture and underlying conditions. Slouching, rounding your shoulders, or poor sleeping posture can misalign your vertebrae and exacerbate neck pain. Pinched nerves, arthritis, and disc degeneration can cause severe neck pain and limited mobility.

Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain 

Your chiropractor can use several techniques and therapies in your neck pain treatment plan to help you achieve long-term relief. They may utilize one or a combination of the following methods:

Chiropractic Adjustment

Chiropractic adjustments are the heart of chiropractic care. Misalignments in the spine are often the cause of neck pain. Your chiropractor can perform chiropractic adjustments that use gentle pressure and thrusts to restore misaligned vertebrae or joints. This technique can relieve pain, increase range of motion, decrease inflammation, and improve your nervous system function. 

Massage Therapy

Tension in the muscles and ligaments surrounding the neck can also cause pain. You can experience increased muscle tension due to injury, poor posture, or daily stress. A neck pain massage can relax these tight muscles to alleviate pain and stiffness. This therapy can also facilitate healing and prevent future neck injuries.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression uses a specialized table to stretch the spine gently, creating negative space within the spine. This treatment is helpful for patients who experience neck pain due to a herniated disc. Your chiropractor can use spinal decompression to restore your discs to their proper placement. Doing this alleviates pain and improves your range of motion.
