This includes a variety of techniques to help clear any misaligned vertebrae, as well as unstiffen the joints in the neck. Misaligned vertebrae can interfere with nerve function, leading to pain and issues in the shoulders, arms, jaw, and face. Spinal manipulation helps align vertebrae in the neck and promotes greater joint mobility. Combined, these methods can address the underlying causes and relieve neck pain.

Spinal decompression uses traction and gentle force to decompress the cervical spinal discs. By relieving pressure on bulged or herniated cervical discs, the chiropractor can help improve the spacing between your vertebrae, ease nerve pain, and allow the discs to rehydrate and heal.

Massage Therapy and

Soft Tissue Work

Muscle tension is a common cause of neck pain. Soft tissue work, traction, and massage can help alleviate muscle spasms and pain. Tension may result from altered spinal structure causing some muscles to work harder than they should. Relieving adhesions can help restore balance to the musculoskeletal system. If you have muscle spasms and tension in your neck, the professional will try to relax these muscles, making them less likely to cause further issues. They also may use heated massage oils or other moisturizing substances to help relax the muscles to be more easily treated.

Acupuncture

A recent and increasingly popular neck pain treatment with a strong track record of success is acupuncture. Acupuncture involves the placement of fine needles into the areas of your body to unblock energy and relieve tension. They work by stimulating the release of dopamine and serotonin, which helps to alleviate inflammation, reduce pain and stress, and promote a sense of well-being in your body. It is mainly used to relieve pain caused by tension in the neck and reduce any long-term discomfort you may be experiencing.

Nutritional Supplementation

A chiropractor may recommend nutritional supplementation to help you relieve your neck pain. An anti-inflammatory diet, including Omega-3 oils, green tea extracts, magnesium, and glucosamine, is crucial for overall health, especially when your body is trying to heal from an injury. A natural wellness chiropractor can also help you identify deficiencies in your diet and determine if vitamin or mineral supplements are necessary.
