Neck

Neck pain can be caused by a number of factors.  Typically neck pain is a result from a recent trauma, strain or sprain within the back or neck.  Neck pain can also be caused by an underlying issue such as a disease or previous disorder. 

Symptoms

Patients can feel a variety of different symptoms.  Everyone’s symptom may be different and may vary due to underlying causes or initial diagnosis.  In most cases patients may feel as if their neck is sore or numb.  They may also experience headaches or dizziness accompanied by fatigue or tenderness. 

Chiropractic Care

Patients may seek and benefit from treatment by a Chiropractor.  A Chiropractor can assist patients in managing their neck and back pain by using adjustment techniques that realign the spine back into its natural positioning.  Chiropractors may also have a massage therapist on staff that can further assist their patient in managing their neck issues, the massage therapist can work directly with the Chiropractor to pinpoint the areas that need more attention.  Chiropractors are also covered by insurance.  

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy may also be included if the massage therapist works in house with the Chiropractor.  You can always call your Chiropractor or insurance company to ensure that they will accept this insurance.  Patients that don’t have insurance can also call ahead to see if there are any discounts or special rates that can be applied.  Your chiropractor may also utilize various therapies to exercise and strengthen the neck and back.
