Dr. Taheri explained that neck pain is one of the most common problems affected by almost 70% of the adult population around the world. Besides, it is not just adults as almost every one of us have most likely faced such problem at some point of time in life. Neck pain can arise due to sports injuries, a car or a normal accident, “sleeping crooked,” etc. However, most of the time there is no specific or direct cause that leads to neck pain and thus the termed nonspecific is applied. There are many symptoms associated with neck pain that patients complain about. Many of these symptoms are often confused with other conditions. Most people generally depend on medications to cure such ailments. But medications are temporary solutions, and can also lead to side effects. Surgery is also a good option, yet too expensive and can be left for last resort. Chiropractic treatment for neck pain has proven to be alternative to cure such ailments.  Most importantly, chiropractic treatment is not only limited to neck pain but it also cures several other ailments such as shoulder and arm pain, back pain and lower back pain, stiffness, headaches and migraines, etc.

So what chiropractors do to cure the neck pain?

She explained that at first, chiropractors gather all the preliminary information such as name, address and insurance information, as well as the history of the problem that the patient is facing. This consists of information such as when the neck pain has been started, what are the causes of it, and so on. Once the information is gathered, based on that the chiropractor decides the number of chiropractic sessions required by the patient.

 The chiropractor uses their hand for spinal and neck manipulation techniques, which facilitates the body to self-healing power and slowly cures the pain. This manipulation adjusts the misaligned vertebrae, which takes pressure off of the pinched nerves. Based on the type of pain that a patient is having, the chiropractors use various other techniques such as trigger point therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, traction, rehabilitation exercise, etc.

 

The best part, chiropractic treatment is completely non-invasive and no machines are used during the entire process. Some of the chiropractic therapies / advices to cure the neck pain includes:

Adjustments
Soft tissue therapy (trigger point stimulation, myofascial release)
Physical therapy modalities
Posture correction exercises and other exercises/home self-administered therapies
Education about job modifications
Co-management with other health care providers if/when needed.
