Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
A conservative chiropractic treatment called ‘cervical manipulation‘ relaxes the joints in the neck. To be able to manipulate the cervical spine, chiropractors use their hands and apply force or pressure to the joints. This improves the neck’s range of motion and the flexibility of the muscles. The chiropractor’s goals include pain reduction, increase in movement, and regaining of the head and neck’s function.
Why should you choose Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain?
In cases of individuals who have neck pain, it has been observed that there is a decrease in pain, muscle soreness, and stiffness, and improved movement of the head after receiving chiropractic care. In a 52-week study where 183 participants with neck pain were grouped to receive manual therapy (chiropractic care), see their general practitioner care, or receive physiotherapy; the results showed a faster recovery was seen in the chiropractic care group compared to the other groups.
In addition to improving neck pain, chiropractic care is also a safe and effective drug-free treatment option.
