CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR NECK PAIN
We get a lot of people visiting our practice due to Neck Pain.
When you have back pain you feel tired frustrated, it is hard to be in the moment, to think clearly and to truly enjoy life.
Neck pain is commonly debilitating and often you struggle to do the things you love. Sleeping comfortably, getting out of bed or simply moving around is annoying at best. Neck pain can make you feel cranky and often you will snap at those you love. Correcting your neck pain helps you and often those around you (or at least we are often told).
It is hard to know what to do, there seems to be many options….
When you see an expert, you’ll finally be in the right hands so that you can get the care you deserve, get back to loving your life of activity and being more “you”!

Neck pain is very common and has many different causes.
Direct causes of mechanical neck pain are rarely identifiable. Most neck issues are functional problems as a result of imbalances in neck support structures. Over time this tends to result in degenerative change that then leads to greater problems with the anatomy itself which can be irreversible depending on presentation.
For neck back pain, a thorough diagnosis is important to lay the foundation for appropriate treatment and rehabilitation. Neck pain treatment reduces the likelihood of recurrent flare-ups and helps prevent the development of chronic (longer term) issues.
There are lots of reasons why you might have neck pain, there are also many different symptoms with neck pain. Here at Sprouting Health Chiropractic, we will help identify why you have neck pain, then we will develop a game plan specific to you, to help you manage your recovery. Amongst other tests we look at muscle weakness patterns and dermatome or numbness patterns in the arms and hands to help diagnose the problem (1,2). One easy test you can do at home to determine if you have early signs of neck trouble (remember get to the cause before it becomes a big issue) is a simple range of motion test. Data from a scientific study suggests that there are early range changes associated with the development of neck pain (3). If you go through the following ranges: flexion, extension, side band and rotation; and there are ranges that hurt or are restricted, it would be worth getting checked.
We use natural and gentle means to help manage your recovery.
So lets move from feeling old, frustrated and down... to getting that spring in your step back, lets create more energy and focus and target that burdensome pain.
