How Chiropractic Care Can Help Neck Pain?
2
  • Chiropractic care is very much helpful in
    reducing neck pain and related problems in a
    non-surgical manner. The treatment method has
    become quite popular in recent years. The reason
    is it is safe and effective.
  • What different neck pains a chiropractic doctor
    can treat? He can treat
  • Cervical inter vertebral disc injuries that do
    not need surgery
  • Cervical sprain injury
  • Facet joint sprain
  • Degenerative joint syndrome of the neck

3
  • These are just a few examples. But how does a
    chiropractor diagnose and treat a variety of neck
    pains effectively??
  • The diagnostic method
  • The chiropractor evaluates the spine as a whole.
    For him, problems in the neck, lower back or
    thoracic are not separate. They are all part of
    the spine.
  • Hence, the emphasis is more on lifestyle
    modification, stress management, health and
    nutrition supplements along with the
    chiropractic treatment.

4
  • A thorough examination is done to diagnose the
    fundamental cause.
  • The areas of restricted movements are identified.
    The overall spine alignment and posture are
    studied carefully.
  • This diagnosis helps the chiropractor in
    understanding the body mechanics better.
  • After the physical examination, the chiropractor
    checks the previous medical history and imaging
    test reports, e.g., MRI or X-ray.
  • The diagnostic steps give a fair idea of your
    problem to the chiropractor. Then, he makes a
    detailed customized treatment plan.

  • The diagnostic steps give a fair idea of your
    problem to the chiropractor. Then, he makes a
    detailed customized treatment plan.
  • If he feels that the neck pain would be better
    treated by operation, then he suggests you
    consult a spine surgeon. However,it rarely
    happens.
  • The treatment
  • The chiropractor uses a combination of manual
    therapy, spinal manipulation, and other methods.
    Thus, the neck problem is treated in a
    comprehensive manner.

  • A gentle, hands-on spinal manipulation is given
    on the intervertebral disc. It is not forceful.
    Hence, it causes relief in the pain.
  • If the chiropractor uses a handheld instrument to
    apply force, then it is called instrument-assisted
    manipulation. Thus, there is no need to thrust
    into the spine.
  • To restore joint movements, he uses specific
    spinal manipulation by putting gentle thrust.
  • Joint stretching and resistance methods are used
    to relieve neck pain.
  • Therapeutic massage to relax tense muscles.

  • Sometimes, trigger point therapy is also used for
    giving instant relief in stiffness and painful
    muscles.
  • Low-frequency electrical current is used for
    stimulating the neck muscles.
  • Pain or stiffness in the neck is relieved by
    using ultrasound waves.
  • Thus, the chiropractic expert puts wholehearted
    efforts to give relief from neck pain and improve
    range of motion.
