Suffering from neck pain that just won’t go away? Let Dr. Troy Buckridge and the team at Back & Neck Relief Clinic in Seymour, TN, help you experience comprehensive and lasting relief.
Neck Pain and Chiropractic Care
You wake up, roll out of bed, and realize that your neck hurts. You stretch a bit and roll your head from side to side. You might reach into the medicine cabinet for some relief. And you go about your day thinking you probably slept in a bad position.
Unfortunately, you notice that the pain is still there after a few days, and you’re not very sure what to do about it. Should you give it more time or seek help now? And who, exactly, should you see for neck pain? Dr. Buckridge and the team at Back & Neck Relief Clinic in Seymour, TN, share below why it’s important to seek help and why a chiropractor is a wise choice.
The Low Down On Neck Pain
Pain in your neck could be caused by sleeping poorly – that’s not an uncommon cause. However, it could be due to many other daily factors, such as poor posture, or an injury that you didn’t notice before, such as whiplash. Carrying heavy bags and being inactive can play a role, as can conditions such as disc degeneration and spinal stenosis. Each of these habits and conditions can lead to several different issues, such as:
- Misalignment
- Herniated discs
- Nerve compression
- Tension
- Muscle spasms
- Sprains and strains
And they can lead to other symptoms, such as numbness, headaches, blurry vision, and more. It’s imperative that you seek help when your neck hurts – especially if it hasn’t gone away within a day or two – to determine what’s causing it.
Why Visit a Chiropractor for Pain in the Neck?
Pain in the neck or cervical spine is typically due to an issue in the neuromusculoskeletal system – like the issues mentioned above. These are issues that chiropractors are trained to diagnose and correct, even if you don’t yet know the issues are present.
They begin by determining the underlying cause of the pain. Then, they develop a combination of natural treatment techniques according to the individual’s needs to address that underlying cause, as well as any contributing factors. These techniques include but are not limited to:
- Adjustments
- Massage therapy
- Decompression therapy
- Therapeutic ultrasound
- Therapeutic exercise
- Lifestyle and habit recommendations
Developing a personalized combination of techniques ensures that you receive comprehensive treatment and optimal results.
