When To See A Chiropractor For Neck Pain?
It might be that you woke up with a stiff neck. Or you had a couple of stressful days. Those symptoms usually pass after a few days and can be successfully eased with simple exercise routines and proper sleep.
However, what about the big warning signs that it’s time to visit your Chiropractor for Neck Pain?
1. Your neck pain is worse when you first wake up
2. Your pain is constant, even after a few days
3. You can’t move your head from side to side without severe pain
4. You are considering self-medication
5. You believe that the neck pain has a more serious cause
6. The pain moved to numbness or tingling in your hands
7. The pain was caused by an accident
How Can A Chiropractor Help Relieve Neck Pain?
As part of the treatment plan, your Chiropractor may use a combination of Manual Therapy and Spinal Manipulation.
The first step is to locate the source of your pain and to ask you questions about your symptoms and remedies you’ve already tried.
Your Chiropractor will evaluate your spine to figure out if other regions of the neck are affected, but it’s not just about the manual treatment – it’s about education.
What you’ll learn are useful tips about stress management, nutrition, and mindfulness; tips you can use in your everyday life to prevent future discomfort and pain.
Other than the physical exam, you’ll also go through your past medical history together, and you might need to do an imaging test that will help the diagnosis.
What Causes Neck Pain?
In most cases, the cause is a pinched nerve. Try to pay attention to your posture – are you sitting uncomfortably? Is your neck stuck in an awkward position for a long period of time? It might be that your pillow is too flat, or you slept on your stomach all night long.
There’s also a possibility that you experienced a whiplash – an injury that occurs when your neck experiences a sudden sharp movement from side to side or forward and backward.
