Neck Pain

September 10, 2019

At the office of Springfield Chiropractic Clinic, we understand how much neck pain can impact your life, and we’re here to help!

If you’re experiencing neck pain, whether due to an injury or just normal wear and tear, you may benefit from seeing a chiropractor. Neck pain is a very common complaint among our patients. It can be caused by a number of factors, including

  • Injury
  • Aging
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Spinal issues
  • Poor posture
  • Obesity
  • Stress

Whatever the cause, seeking attention from a chiropractor is a good way to help relieve the pain as part of a holistic approach to your health. The goal is to reduce pain and inflammation, improve your range of motion and flexibility, and strengthen your neck muscles.

The first step is to set up an appointment for an evaluation. At this meeting, we can diagnosis the issue and design a plan that is best for you.

What to Expect at Your Chiropractic Evaluation

During this initial meeting, our goal is to identify the source of your pain by conducting a physical and neurological exam as well as gathering important information from you such as when the pain began, how long it has lasted, exactly where it hurts, and if anything aggravates the pain throughout the day. If deemed necessary, we may request imaging tests such as an x-ray or computerized tomography (CT) scan.

Treating Neck Pain

All of our chiropractors are specially trained in the treatment and diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders and manual adjustment techniques. These techniques involve a varied approach, depending on your specific needs, including:

  • Cold therapy
  • Hot therapy
  • Customized exercise regimens
  • Nutrition
  • Massage
  • Cervical manipulation 

For neck pain, your chiropractor will likely want to see you on a regular basis to provide the best outcomes. All care is safe and non-invasive, and incorporates your overall wellbeing. The approach is based on the premise that your body is interconnected so that correcting any misalignment in the spine can help reduce inflammation and improve nervous system function. This, in turn, can help to manage the pain in your neck.

At the office of Springfield Chiropractic Clinic, we’re dedicated to providing the highest quality of skilled and compassionate care. For more information on our office and the many services that we provide, give us a call today.
