Neck Pain Treatment in Portage
From prolonged periods sitting at desks or behind the wheel to spending extended time on the computer or cell phone, neck pain can result. Consider this: the human head weighs approximately 10-12 pounds, and when it’s tilted forward for hours checking devices, this creates tremendous strain on neck structures.
Many patients also develop neck pain from occupational activities such as overhead work. Painters, carpenters, and other professionals who frequently reach upward place significant stress on their cervical spine. This repetitive strain can lead to misalignments, muscle tension, and eventually, persistent discomfort that radiates into the shoulders and upper back.
Effective Chiropractic Techniques for Neck Relief
Our approach to treating neck pain focuses on restoring proper alignment and mobility to the cervical vertebrae. The Diversified adjusting technique is particularly effective for neck conditions. This manual adjustment method allows you to actually feel and hear the realignment as it happens. By restoring proper range of motion to the affected vertebrae, we address not just the pain itself but its underlying cause.
Neck adjustments often relieve more than just localized pain. Many patients experience improvement in related conditions such as headaches, upper back tension, and shoulder discomfort. Because of the interconnected nature of these regions, proper cervical alignment can have wide-ranging benefits throughout your upper body.
Beyond Treatment: Preventing Neck Pain
Minor lifestyle modifications can dramatically reduce your risk of developing chronic neck issues. We recommend implementing an ergonomic workspace with adjustable monitors positioned at eye level. Standing or adjustable desks allow you to change positions throughout the day, preventing the strain of sustained postures.
We also partner with you to develop personalized stretching routines and ergonomic recommendations tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. Our goal isn’t just relieving your current pain but also preventing future episodes through education and proactive care.
