The Hidden Culprits Behind Your Neck Pain

Neck pain can come on suddenly. Common causes include poor sleep posture, prolonged computer use with hunched shoulders, excessive smartphone use (“tech neck”), and strain from lifting children or heavy objects incorrectly. These everyday activities can lead to misalignments, muscle tension, and nerve irritation, all contributing to discomfort.

While less common, whiplash from car accidents is another cause of neck pain. It results from a sudden jerk of the neck, causing injury to the muscles and ligaments.

Targeted Techniques for Long-Lasting Relief

At our practice, we use a variety of techniques to address neck pain:

• Gonstead Technique: This precise and thorough Chiropractic method focuses on the specific areas causing pain. This Chiropractic adjustment is the most specific and effective technique in chiropractic care.
• Active Release Technique: This approach involves pin and stretch methods to relax tight muscles.
• Myofascial Release: We apply this technique to break down scar tissue and adhesions in the muscles.
• Corrective Exercise: We offer classes like “Iron Neck,” a program that addresses and prevents neck pain through targeted exercises.

How Often Should I Receive Care?

The frequency of chiropractic visits for chronic neck pain can vary significantly from patient to patient. Typically, the severity of the condition dictates the treatment plan. A common approach involves starting with two to three visits per week for the first month.

This initial phase aims to correct the issue and stabilize the affected area. After this period, the frequency of visits can be adjusted based on how well your body maintains the adjustments and keeps the joints in proper alignment.

‘I’m Nervous About Getting My Neck Adjusted’

If you’ve never had your neck adjusted before, you may understandably feel anxious. Dr. Zach dedicates significant time to understanding the root cause of your issue, whether it originates from your neck, mid-back, or lower back. Our approach includes a detailed examination to identify misalignments and an X-ray to visualize the joint before any adjustment.

During the adjustment, Dr. Zach will guide you through the entire process, demonstrating what to expect with a gentle “baby thrust.” He ensures you are relaxed and comfortable and always obtains your permission before proceeding so there are no surprises.
