Neck Pain

What Causes Neck Pain? 

The exact cause of your neck pain could originate from many different areas including muscles, bones, tendons, or ligaments. At Essentials of Life Chiropractic, we recognize that symptoms, such as neck pain, are a signal from the body that something is wrong. Misalignments of the spine, called subluxations, can prevent the brain from properly communicating with the muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments of the neck. By finding and correcting misalignments of the spine, the body is free to function properly and heal. 

​

What Are My Treatment Options for Neck Pain? 

Traditional treatments for neck pain include over the counter medications, muscle relaxers, prescription medication, injections, and surgery. Most traditional treatments only affect the symptoms, but do not address the root cause of the neck pain. In addition, these treatments often come with side effects. 

​

Chiropractic care is a safe and effective treatment for neck pain. Finding and correcting misalignments of the spine allows the brain to effectively communicate with the body via the nervous system resulting in decreased mechanical stress, improved muscle tone, and more. If your case requires additional forms of treatment such as physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, or more, we are happy to make recommendations for your specific needs.
