Neck pain is incredibly common and quite serious. According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, in a National Institute of Health Statistics study, up to 15 percent of respondents reported having neck pain.
If you’re suffering from prolonged aches and lack of mobility in the neck, you may have some questions. We’re here to answer them.
A: Neck pain can be caused by many injuries and medical conditions. Sports injuries, workplace injuries, auto accident injuries, and whiplash may be culprits. Conditions such as a slipped disc, spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, ankylosing spondylitis, torticollis (or wry neck), tension headaches and migraines, and cervical spondylosis may also be to blame.
A: Not necessarily. Before you go in for surgery, try chiropractic care for a few weeks. Through spinal decompression therapy, adjustments, and manipulations, you just may notice a huge decrease in your pain levels.
A: Yes, it can. Chiropractic care may be spine-focused, but the spine is at the center of the body. If something is wrong with the spine, such as a pinched nerve or misalignment, the rest of the body will hurt.
By correcting abnormalities in the spine, bodily health improves. With many of the injuries and conditions mentioned above, the spine is also impacted, leading to pain.
Your chiropractor will discuss your symptoms with you, including the incident that caused the pain as applicable. Then they’ll run a few tests to determine which means of chiropractic care will make the biggest difference in your life.
A: You may notice a reduction in pain in as little as one appointment. You should return to your chiropractor regularly for a few weeks (or months and sometimes longer) for continued treatment, though.
