Neck Pain Treatments
Neck pain is a common complaint among people of all ages and lifestyles. Whether it's severe and frequent or an occasional frustration, it’s worth looking at what’s causing it. Not only is this necessary for effective treatment, it may also reveal other problems you aren’t feeling yet, but can cause serious harm. Dr. Jodi Cappello of Cappello Chiropractic in Verona, New Jersey, can help you determine what’s causing neck pain and how you can get better holistically.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
There are several factors that can contribute to neck pain. Many people spend long hours looking down at their phones and other devices. This prolonged stress on the neck muscles can lead to muscle tension and misalignment of the cervical spine, in a condition known informally as “text neck.” Additionally, injuries from accidents, such as whiplash from a car collision, can result in acute neck pain by causing subluxations in the vertebrae and overstretching tendons and ligaments. Other common causes include cartilage degeneration from osteoarthritis, herniated discs, and muscle strains from overexertion or overuse. Emotional stress can also be related to tight or inflamed muscles in the neck and upper back.
Symptoms Associated with Neck Pain
Neck pain can be accompanied by other symptoms, depending on its cause. These may include stiffness in the neck, headaches, and radiating pain or numbness in the shoulders, arms, or hands. Some people may experience difficulty turning their head or a sensation of weakness in the upper extremities. Recognizing these symptoms is crucial for determining the appropriate course of treatment.
The Role of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to treating neck pain by correcting its causes and restoring proper function to the spine. At Cappello Chiropractic in Verona, New Jersey, Dr. Jodi Cappello and her team provide personalized care for each patient’s unique needs.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Spinal adjustments are our most common treatment for neck pain. These adjustments are done by applying controlled amounts of force to subluxated vertebrae in the cervical spine to realign them and relieve pressure on surrounding nerves. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. Many patients report significant relief from neck pain following these adjustments, often experiencing improved range of motion and reduced discomfort.
Complementary Therapies
In addition to spinal adjustments, chiropractic care may include complementary therapies such as massage therapy, stretching exercises, and lifestyle recommendations. We use massage therapy at Cappello Chiropractic to stretch tight tissues in the neck, upper back, and shoulders. Therapeutic exercises can strengthen the muscles that support the neck, reducing the risk of re-injury. Dr. Cappello also educates patients about proper ergonomics, such as the right posture when sitting at a computer.
Free Yourself from Neck Pain with Chiropractic Care
By restoring spinal alignment and relaxing soft tissues, chiropractors can help patients find relief from neck pain.
