Seek Out Our Chiropractor in Rome for Neck Pain Treatment

You may not give it much thought to it, but the neck is a very hardworking part of the body. In fact, the neck works all day and every day supporting your head and moving your head in different directions. The average human head weighs 12 pounds. That’s a lot of work for this underappreciated part of the body. At Anken Family ChiroCare, serving Rome, NY, we understand just how important the neck is to your everyday life and productivity. Keep reading to learn about what causes neck pain and how chiropractic care can help you reduce it.

Why the Neck Hurts

Neck pain is a very common problem. A variety of activities or events can affect the neck and cause pain. Even sitting long periods of time and staring down at your phone can cause problems for the neck. Traumatic events such as falls, car wrecks, or other injuries can also create long-lasting effects on the neck.

A common injury that triggers chronic neck pain is whiplash. Whiplash is the result of a sudden whipping motion of the neck that is caused by an auto accident. This specific motion affects the surrounding, supportive tissue of the neck, causing pain and stiffness. In severe cases, whiplash can cause damage to the joints, discs, ligaments, and even nerve roots in the neck. 

Even without an injury, over time, the neck can become stiff and painful. Conditions like osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease can affect the neck directly.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

Chiropractic care seeks to treat the root of the problem rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Upon evaluation, our Rome, NY, chiropractor will assess the root issue and then develop a treatment plan to not only help relieve your symptoms but also help the body heal itself to attain optimum health.

Neck pain treatment often includes chiropractic adjustments. This form of therapy brings the spine back into alignment. When the spine is out of alignment, it can cause an imbalance in the tissues, muscles, ligaments, and joints of the body. However, when it is aligned, balance is restored, which helps lessen painful symptoms and improve health.

Exercise therapy is another form of treatment that is very beneficial when treating neck pain. It helps relax the muscles surrounding the cervical spine, increase range of motion, and reduce neck pain.
