Midlothian VA Chiropractic Office Offers Neck Pain Relief

By Matt Chaderia


Neck pains are regularly addressed in Midlothian VA chiropractic offices.

Most people think chiropractors only treat pain in the lower back, but they can also help with pain further up in the back, including the neck.

Neck pain and stiffness could actually be the result of an imbalance where the vertebrae and skull come together, or a misalignment, or subluxation, in one's cervical spine. These situations commonly lead to headaches or extreme discomfort in the individual's hands, arms, and shoulders. These types of pains are experienced by roughly 15% of American adults each year.

Neck pain can be caused by an injury or it can come on slowly over time. Although most neck pain is simply a strain or sprain, which will heal quickly, it can also be caused by disc problems or arthritis in the neck or irritation of nerves.

Regardless of the root cause, chiropractors can help with the issue, including those developing as strains and sprains from bad sleep positions, automobile accidents, sports injuries, or poor posture. The common action of holding a phone between one's head and shoulder routinely, or for a prolonged time, could bring about such discomforts.

Occasionally neck issues might call for the application of additional measures, including counseling on nutrition and therapeutic massage. However, most only require advice on how to change certain activities such as sleeping positions and sitting habits, in order to prevent the issues returning after a spinal adjustment. Both pain and the medications many take to dull it, have the tendency to disrupt one's life routine. Chiropractors utilize methods that will pose no negative affects, yet will alleviate the situation quickly.

People dealing with neck discomfort on any level could benefit from contacting a local chiropractor to find out how they might help in alleviating the problem.
