What causes neck pain?

Neck injuries like whiplash and chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis are common causes of neck pain. Fibromyalgia can be triggered by physical or mental stress caused by a traumatic event or injury. Traumatic injuries can also cause imbalances in your cervical spine, resulting in painful neck symptoms. Neck pain can also be caused by poor posture or muscle strains from prolonged activities like driving, computer work, sleeping, or digital device use.

What other symptoms accompany neck pain?

Additional symptoms include neck stiffness, back or shoulder pain, numbness in your arms or hands, headaches, and restricted neck mobility. These symptoms may range from mild to severe and may be intermittent or ongoing, depending on the cause of your condition.

Why should I see a chiropractor for neck pain?

Chiropractors specialize in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries like whiplash, herniated disc, neck, shoulder, and back pain, etc. Our Harrisonburg, VA, chiropractor will evaluate your condition to determine the cause of your pain and outline a treatment plan. Chiropractic treatments can help resolve painful neck issues naturally without having to use prescription drugs for pain relief.

How does chiropractic care provide neck pain relief?

If pain is caused by imbalances in your cervical spine, we’ll use adjustments to relieve pain by restoring balance to your system. Realigning your system takes the pressure off of spinal vertebrae, joints, and nerves. Through soft tissue massage, our Harrisonburg, VA, chiropractor can relieve muscle tension and stiffness to help reduce pain. Massage circulates oxygen-rich blood to painful areas to help them heal. Therapeutic stretches and exercises are used to restore neck flexibility and mobility. As neck pain can be aggravated by poor posture and bad work ergonomics, we’ll teach you ways to improve your posture to achieve long-term pain relief.

How can I prevent neck pain?

When sleeping, use pillows that provide proper neck support to avoid muscle strains. Keep your monitor at eye level when using your computer and take frequent breaks to avoid straining muscles and connective tissues in your cervical spine. Practice neck stretches and exercises throughout the day to keep your neck muscles strong and flexible.
