Common Causes and Symptoms of Neck Pain
Often times we can pinpoint the cause of our neck pain but other times it can begin insidiously without a known cause. Here are some common causes:
- Athletic injuries:Â Impact sports like football, repetitive movements like golf, or activities that can cause strain like weightlifting can often stress the neck and lead to pain.
- Arthritis: Arthritis can develop over time and lead to pain and stiffness, but can be managed with chiropractic treatments.
- Traumatic injuries:Â Whiplash from motor vehicle accidents might be to blame.
- Postural strain:We can often sleep in a weird position and it can lead to neck pain.
Some of the most common symptoms is pain when looking up or turning your head to the side of pain.
Holistic Approaches to Treating Neck Pain
TruMotion Therapy has no shortage of treatment options to help you get back on track. We prefer holistic treatments that involve healing the whole body rather than just the symptoms. Many of our patients find relief from:
- Chiropractic adjustments:Â An adjustment can resolve issues in the body, effectively lessening or eliminating neck aches.
- Dry Needling: Dry needling reduces muscle tension.
- Laser Therapy: Laser therapy decreases pain and inflammation.
- Prescriptive exercise routines:Â Functional exercise to restore motion and build strength.
We might also recommend dry needling for neck pain. Dry needling helps reduce muscle tension, stimulate healing, and decrease pain. Thin sterile acupuncture needles are inserted into a muscle to improve blood flow and overall tissue health.
Preventing Neck Pain With Everyday Strategies
So, what can you do between visits or while awaiting your first appointment? We have a few ideas. Change some of your lifestyle habits.
Consider how you sit, sleep, and move throughout the day:
- Choose chairs with lumbar support, proper cushioning, and a comfortable headrest.
- Remember to stand and stretch every 30 minutes.
- Use an adjustable desk or laptop stand to help you stand when you work.
- Explore different mattresses and pillow positions for supported sleep.
Don’t forget to move your body daily! You can’t underestimate the importance of regular exercise. Do gentle stretches when you awaken and before bedtime.
Incorporate light exercise, like walking or jogging, into your daily routine, too. These small efforts can make a big difference.
