Eliminate Neck Pain with Chiropractic Care

Our Chiropractic Clinic Can Help With Neck Injury Pain

Neck pain can not only cause discomfort but can also drastically limit your abilities and restrict your daily activities.

Nobody should have to suffer from chronic pain, and if you are experiencing neck pain due to an accident, you need to see a chiropractor right away, before permanent damage is done. 

Whether you have suffered a whiplash injury in an auto accident, or have been diagnosed with a chronic condition like arthritis, our Florida Spine and Injury Chiropractors in Lake City can assist in with your treatment and relief.

For how common neck pain is, it can be extremely difficult to diagnose and treat due to the many causes and chronic symptoms.

Therefore, you need to trust a chiropractic doctor who has experience treating this exact type of injury.

Medical doctors typically prescribe medications and expensive surgeries in an attempt to reduce and treat neck pain and injuries.

While these remedies may eventually be required, a chiropractor will attempt to treat the problem at the source first. 

Our chiropractors pride themselves on using noninvasive methods to alleviate neck pain in their personal injury patients.

3 Main Causes of Neck Pain We See in Patients

Accidents and Injuries

A primary cause of neck pain in Lake City, Florida, is from motor vehicle accidents.

This type of neck injury is classified as acute trauma. This type of injury was solely caused by the crash and was not pre-existing.

Typically, pain is caused because the accident victim suffered a whiplash injury. 

This happens when upon impact, the force of the crash causes the head and neck to violently move in a forward and back motion, snapping the neck. 

Joints, muscles, discs, and ligaments in the neck can also be affected by car accidents. 

Aging

Degenerative Disorders that develop over time and with age are the greatest cause of chronic neck pain.

There most common degenerative disorders that cause chronic neck pain are: 

• Spinal Stenosis
• Osteoarthritis
• Degenerative Disc Disease

All three of these conditions affect the spine directly and can cause moderate to severe neck pain. Other symptoms can include tingling and numbness in the arms and legs.

These conditions can cause a loss of joint movement and cause spinal misalignments. This can cause even more stress and strain to be placed on the neck and induce more pain and soreness in the area. 

Daily Life

One of the unavoidable causes of neck pain is daily life.

Rather than an acute trauma that caused an injury, or inevitable aging that resulted in degenerative disease, your day to day habits can also cause minor to severe neck pain. 

The key to avoiding pain caused by your lifestyle is spinal balance.

The factors below are key contributors to disrupting the delicate spinal balance: 

• Obesity
• Emotional Stress and Tension
• Poor Posture
• Bad Mattress

These factors can cause the neck to bend in irregular ways to compensate the spinal balance disruption. Overall pain and stiffness are very common due to these lifestyle habits.

In most cases, small changes can be made in your everyday life to help adjust your spinal balance. These changes can be,

• Improving Health and Nutrition
• Improved Work Station or Posture
• A New Mattress with Better Support

There are many changes that can be made in your environment to help you recover from your neck pain. 

Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain

Our Florida Spine and Injury Center in Lake City can treat neck pain successfully, no matter what the cause.

Our chiropractors diagnose and treat patients suffering from chronic or acute neck pain.

It does not matter if your pain or injury was caused by a car crash or aging, our doctors will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

A few of our treatment techniques include:

• Ultrasound
• Physical Rehabilitation or Therapy
• Adjustment of the Cervical Spine

Ultrasound

This technique uses micro-vibration in the form of sound waves, combined with heat, to heal the damaged soft tissues in your neck. 

Ultrasound will assist in the healing process, as well as alleviate pain and stiffness in the neck. 

Physical Rehabilitation

During your physical rehabilitation and therapy, you will stretch, strengthen, and stabilize the muscles and other tissues in the neck.

Rehab methods are a great treatment option for individuals suffering from back and neck pain.

One particular exercise that stands out is the Lumbar Stabilization Exercise.

This exercise helps people return to their "neutral" spine position, which is technically the most natural and comfortable spinal position.

With rehab and therapy, posture and comfort will be increased, therefore reducing pain symptoms and healing injuries at the source.

Adjustment of the Cervical Spine

The most common treatment technique your chiropractor will use to treat your hurt neck is an adjustment.

Manual or instrument assisted, adjustments of the cervical spine can release pressure and realign your spine properly.

By applying light force to the spinal joints, this method is non-invasive and low risk, yet extremely successful.
