Neck Pain Sufferers Find Relief With Midlothian Chiropractor

By Matt Chaderia


Neck pains are regularly addressed in Midlothian VA chiropractic offices.

Most people think chiropractors only treat pain in the lower back, but they can also help with pain further up in the back, including the neck.

Neck pain and stiffness could actually be the result of an imbalance where the vertebrae and skull come together, or a misalignment, or subluxation, in one's cervical spine. These situations commonly lead to headaches or extreme discomfort in the individual's hands, arms, and shoulders. These types of pains are experienced by roughly 15% of American adults each year.

Neck pains can appear suddenly following certain types of injury, or they may gradually develop over time. Most commonly, they result from sprains or strains which typically heal rather quickly, although it is possible that vertebral disc issues or arthritis causing irritation in nerve bundles could also be the culprit.

Whatever the main cause, chiropractors are capable of dealing with such issues, even those sprains and strains developing from automobile accidents, poor posture, improper sleep positions, or sports injuries. These types of discomfort might even come about by the routine action of using one's shoulder and head to cradle a telephone.

Occasionally neck issues might call for the application of additional measures, including counseling on nutrition and therapeutic massage. However, most only require advice on how to change certain activities such as sleeping positions and sitting habits, in order to prevent the issues returning after a spinal adjustment. Both pain and the medications many take to dull it, have the tendency to disrupt one's life routine. Chiropractors utilize methods that will pose no negative affects, yet will alleviate the situation quickly.

People dealing with neck discomfort on any level could benefit from contacting a local chiropractor to find out how they might help in alleviating the problem.
