How Chiropractic Relieves Neck Pain

If you have pain in any part of your body, it can range from uncomfortable to downright debilitating. In the case of your neck, any degree of irritation can impede your ability to function. Because of this, it is important that you learn about how chiropractic relieves neck pain so that you can find the assistance you need.

When you first visit Nardi Family Chiropractic, you should take along medical records that relate to your neck pain. This includes any medical history that outlines the description and symptoms of your condition by another physician. For instance, whether the pains are sharp or dull, throbbing or steady can provide valuable information to your chiropractor.

You should also make sure to get a copy of your latest x-rays. If you do not have any, that is okay because Nardi Family Chiropractic can perform them on-site.

A typical first visit includes an initial consultation, examination and x-rays. We will go over the results of the aforementioned the same day.  Some results may take more time and those will be provided in as timely a manner as possible.

At Nardi Family Chiropractic we administer adjustments that will help relieve your pain on the same day as your initial visit until a complete diagnosis is available, unless otherwise noted by the doctor.

Additionally, your doctor may make pain relief recommendations that you can use back home to help reduce your neck pain until your next visit. These typically include the proper use of ice or a topical analgesic like BioFreeze®.

During your subsequent visit, a detailed treatment plan will be presented to you if we believe we can help correct the problem. If so, be consistent with the treatment plan your diagnosis warrants so that your neck pain is not only relieved but potentially corrected.

Remember, we are not only concerned about relieving your neck pain but even more concerned about finding and fixing the cause of the problem. Misalignments of the spine with nerve interference (aka vertebral subluxations) don’t just happen over night (unless there is some form of blunt force that caused it). So correcting these subluxations through multiple chiropractic adjustments may take time, even after the pain disappears.

Regardless, when people are experiencing neck pain, it can diminish their quality of life. It becomes difficult to perform regular tasks such as driving. Visiting a chiropractor and allowing them to adjust the area is a smart choice. Chiropractors have undergone extensive training in their field and are capable of treating neck pain effectively. So if you or a loved one are experiencing neck pain, give us a call. We’re here to help.
