neck pain

Consulting a chiropractor for neck pain might seem obvious to a patient who has experienced previous chiropractic care and who associates a chiropractic adjustment with the release of tension, increased motion, and pain relief.

For others who have not previously had chiropractic treatment of their neck, people seem to visualise an abrupt twisting motion of their neck. This is simply not the case. Chiropractic adjustments are gentle high velocity and low amplitude and almost always pain free.

Peoples’ lifestyles and working result in us spending too much time sitting at a desk or leaning forward to work on a computer or to perform repetitive tasks. These repeated actions can result in muscle tension from poor posture which applies extra pressure on the neck, back and shoulders, causing headaches and other neck pain.

Tension caused by stress at work, home and socially can increase muscle tension which creates pressure on the joints in the neck which, sometimes lead to “referred pain” in other parts of the body such as the head, shoulder, arm and hands.

Chiropractic treatment including adjustments, soft tissue therapy and ergonomic advice will help you restore normal function and movement to the joints in your spine, providing great relief from the dysfunction and pain.
