Neck Pain Relief

Given the incredible amount of time many people spend gazing downward at their digital devices, it’s no surprise that neck pain is increasingly common. “One source of neck pain can be muscular. This happens when the muscles in the neck that hold the head upright are overused over a period of time. We often see this in individuals working on computers or tablets who have their heads down for extended periods,” said Dr. Kriva.

Other Causes

Another primary cause of neck discomfort is spinal misalignment. The bones in the neck can go out of position, putting pressure on the nerves coming off the spinal cord. This can cause issues like muscle tightness and pain in the neck and radiating pain down into the shoulders, arms and hands.

Here in Minnesota, slips on the ice in winter can all contribute to misalignments in the neck that can cause discomfort. Unfortunately, these misalignments can also be connected to TMJ problems, headaches, and migraines.

How Chiropractic & Other Therapies Can Help

At Parkview Chiropractic Clinic, we tackle neck pain with a multipronged approach. Our treatments include chiropractic adjustments and trigger point therapy, which are effective for muscle-related neck pain. These methods help relax tense muscles and alleviate pain.

Additionally, we use deep tissue massage to ease muscle tension further. To prevent recurring issues, we integrate personalized exercises and stretches into our treatment plans, ensuring that your neck muscles remain flexible and strong.

Preventive Care for All Ages

We’ve noticed increased neck pain among younger populations, largely attributed to excessive device use. This has led to the development of “phone bone,” a bone spur resulting from constant forward head posture. Preventing such conditions is crucial, and regular chiropractic care can be vital. We emphasize the importance of managing device time and incorporating proper posture practices from an early age.
