Celina Neck Pain
Neck pain… a literal pain in the neck. How your Celina chiropractor treats your neck depends on why it hurts in the first place. The pain can start for many reasons. Picking up the kids or sleeping in an awkward position are two common ways of developing neck pain. Sitting at a desk for 8 hours straight, or looking down at your phone all day are also common culprits for neck pain. Our Celina chiropractor is an expert at treating the spine, he treats neck pain on a daily basis.
There are a number of different structures and conditions of the neck that can be responsible for neck pain. The joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves can all cause discomfort. Regardless of where the neck pain originated, our chiropractor is skilled at getting rid of it! There are 7 cervical spine segments, 12 thoracic spine segments, 6 or 7 ribs on each of your spine and a whole bunch of different muscles that could be causing your neck pain.
4 Steps to Treat Neck Pain
-
-
Acupuncture for neck pain: Acupuncture uses hair thin needles that are inserted into the skin at very specific points to reduce pain, stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. For neck treatments, Dr. Dillan uses 5-20 needles and get the best results. He will usually focus on the areas of pain finding the root cause of the muscle tension.
-
Laser Therapy: There is nothing better than laser therapy. It involves red and violet therapeutic light, which stimulates blood flow, reduces inflammation and improves healing times up to 50%. For neck pain, we usually focus on the traps, Levator Scapulae, Suboccipitals and Rhomboid muscles. Laser therapy is great at reducing tension in all of these muscle groups.
-
Spinal Manipulation: The final step and the reason for all the treatment beforehand is the chiropractic adjustment. Our chiropractor will find a sticky or stuck joint in the patient’s neck, upper back and possibly rib and get them moving. At our Celina clinic, Dr. Dillan is adamant that our patients get the above protocol before adjusting as it makes for a much better adjustment and allows the patients to heal faster!
Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
When it comes to neck pain, chiropractors are your best bet to get rid of the pain quickly. They are neck pain experts and can fix painful joints safely and effectively. When the joints in the neck are stiff and/or stuck, it can be incredibly painful. Turning the head to check your blindspot while driving may feel impossible. Luckily, a Celina chiropractic adjustment can fix this painful problem very quickly. An adjustment is a quick, shallow thrust through a stiff joint. When the joints ‘pop’ it can feel like a release of pressure and pain.
