Neck Pains
Is it hard to look over your shoulder? Is there a constant burning or throbbing pain in your neck? Do you notice a “grinding” sound as you turn your head?
We use our neck muscles more than we realize, which makes them at risk for injury. Simple everyday activities like hunching over your computer or sleeping the wrong way can strain your neck causing shoulder and neck pain. But sometimes neck muscle pain is a sign of something more serious. If you notice shooting pain in your shoulder or down your arm, numbness or loss of strength in your arms or hands, changes in bladder or bowel habits and the inability to touch your chin to your chest, you may require more serious neck pain treatment. No matter what your symptom, chiropractic neck pain therapy at Holmes Chiropractic can be your solution for neck pain relief.
Neck pain can be frightening and significantly detract from your daily life. At Monmouth Spine and Soft Tissue in Morganville, New Jersey, Dr. Christopher Holmes provides personalized treatments that correct the root causes of neck pain and promote the body’s natural healing.
Common Causes of Neck Pain
Neck pain is a symptom of many disorders, and identifying which ones are at play is necessary for effective treatment. Common causes of neck pain that we treat include muscle strain from poor posture or prolonged computer use, whiplash injuries such as those from car accidents, herniated discs that can compress nearby nerves, and degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis. Additionally, stress and tension can lead to muscle tightness in the neck, significantly contributing to discomfort.
Chiropractic Treatments for Neck Pain
Our neck pain treatments at Monmouth Spine and Soft Tissue in Morganville, New Jersey, are based on understanding and correcting the biomechanics of the entire body. Our skilled chiropractor, Dr. Holmes will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the best treatment plan, which may include these treatments:
Diversified Adjustment Technique: This widely used chiropractic technique involves precise adjustments to the spine and neck to restore proper alignment and function. The diversified adjustment technique can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and balance pressure within and around the spine. Many patients experience relief quickly following adjustments, allowing them to return to their daily activities without fear of the next onslaught of neck pain.
Active Release Technique (ART): ART is a specialized soft tissue treatment that targets tight muscles, tendons, and ligaments to relieve tension and restore function. This technique is particularly effective for correcting muscle tightness and restrictions in the upper back that contribute to neck pain. By applying precise pressure and movement, ART helps break down adhesions and improve blood flow.
Graston Technique: This innovative technique utilizes specialized instruments to detect and treat scar tissue and other soft tissue restrictions. The Graston technique is another way of breaking down adhesions and improving mobility in the neck and surrounding areas.
