How Chiropractic Care Assists Neck Pain
We know that chiropractic care can address those “pains in the neck” we all encounter from time to time. How exactly does an adjustment take place and what does it do for us? Read on for an overview:
- Chiropractic adjustments: Chiropractors use a variety of manual techniques to manipulate the joints in your spine, including the vertebrae in your neck. The goal of these adjustments is to improve joint mobility and function, which can help to relieve pain and stiffness.
- Mobilization and soft tissue therapy: In addition to adjustments, chiropractors may also use other techniques to treat neck pain, such as mobilization (gentle movements of the joints), massage therapy, and therapeutic exercises. These techniques can help to improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing.
- Improved range of motion: By improving mobility in the neck, chiropractic care can help to increase your range of motion. This can make it easier to turn your head, look up and down, and perform other everyday activities.
- Reduced pain and inflammation: Chiropractic adjustments can help to reduce inflammation and pain in the neck by improving joint function and reducing nerve irritation.
