Chiropractic: An Effective Neck Pain Treatment for Bad Posture

Written By Levinson Chiropractic & Vax-D Therapy on June 29, 2018

If you’re suffering from persistent neck pain, you’re not alone. 

The majority of people will suffer from a bout or two of neck pain at some point during their lives. Often, this will come on suddenly but will get better by itself.

But sometimes, this neck pain can be ongoing, debilitating, and incredibly painful, with headaches and arm pain being other symptoms that coincide with it. 

Sound familiar? 

Then it’s time to consider chiropractic as your neck pain treatment. 

Why Might You Need Neck Pain Treatment?

There is a whole host of reasons why you might suffer from neck pain, and one of the primary causes is bad posture. 

From the way you stand or sit on a day-to-day basis, to the lifestyle you lead or the nature of your work, everyday activities can place your neck under increasing amounts of stress. 

This tension that’s building up in your shoulders and neck can also be accentuated by stress and worry, and may hamper your chances of recovering. 

In most cases, there won’t be a clear-cut cause for your neck pain and it may build over time. 

Equally, while these aches and pains may be excruciating, neck pain rarely signifies that there’s a serious underlying cause. Seeing your local chiropractor in Sandy Springs can help diagnose your condition and provide an effective neck pain treatment (or referral if further investigations are needed). 

How Can Chiropractic Help? 

Chiropractors are renowned for being able to assess, diagnose, and manage various conditions that relate to the spine and its interconnecting tissues and muscles. 

Before your treatment commences, your chiropractor will conduct a full physical assessment and ask you some questions. They’ll ask about your medical history, your current health, and your symptoms.

Sometimes, they may need to refer you for other tests to confirm their findings, e.g. blood tests, MRI scans, or X-rays. 

Once done, they’ll put together a treatment plan for you, explaining what the issue is, what can be done, and what you can expect from your treatment. 

The treatment may involve various manual adjustments, including spinal manipulation. This is where the chiropractor uses their hands to apply gentle force to restricted or stiff joints, or to mobilize these joints by gradually moving them. 

They may team these techniques with others, e.g. stretching exercises and rehabilitation practices that you can do at home. And they’ll even give you lifestyle advice so you can prevent the onset of your symptoms in the future.
