About neck pain

Neck pain causes

You may be surprised to learn just how common neck pain is.  At any given time, neck pain impacts approximately 10% of the population in the United States. In fact, it is estimated that approximately 85% of Americans will deal with moderate or more severe neck pain at some point in their life.

Neck pain can be caused by a variety of factors, which can lead to difficulty in pinpointing the most appropriate treatment. Some of the more common reasons for neck pain include sports injuries, car accidents, repetitive motion strains, disk injuries, poor posture, and more.

How neck pain can be treated

The right treatment for your neck pain will be determined by the type and severity of injury that you have, as well as your own personal requirements. Mild neck pain may be treated with rest, heat and ice, and over the counter medication. On the other hand, severe neck pain may require surgery to resolve.

Chiropractic care can be an excellent place to start if you want to address your neck pain naturally and non-invasively. This treatment can be provided in the comfort of a chiropractor’s office, and it carries less risk than prescription pain medication or surgery.

What to expect at the chiropractor

When you visit a chiropractor, he or she will first evaluate your case to determine the type or cause of your neck pain and whether or not chiropractic care is right for you. The chiropractor will then discuss the recommended course of treatment with you , and the results you may expect.

Chiropractic treatment consists of manual manipulation, or adjustment, of the spine. The chiropractor will use his or her hands to re-adjust and re-align your spine to relieve pain and nerve pressure and improve comfort and mobility. This treatment is safe for almost anyone.
