Neck Pain
What Causes Neck Pain
The reasons for neck pain can be all over the place in regards to what caused it. Our facility wants what is best for its patients, which is why after our initial visit examination our doctor will provide his patient with his medical opinion on what he believes is the cause, along with an outlined plan for treatment.
What we MUST know first
The most common causes for neck pain typically are:
- Postural strain from prolonged sitting or hunching over.
- Sprain/Strain from a trauma, fall, or lifting injury
- Wear and tear of the spinal joints from repetitive body movements
- Arthritis
Depending upon the reasons for your neck pain complaints, there are circumstances when alternative care is not an appropriate. Should a particular condition in present health history prevent the option of providing a patient with chiropractic adjustment, and muscle massage work, then an outside referral to a provider more suited for that patient is needed.
Be sure to inform any chiropractor of any diseases, or more serious medical conditions, that may contribute to your neck pain prior to treatment. This information could be imperative to ensuring the care you receive is not a contraindication to a method of treatment. It is your responsibility to ensure we are made aware of any medical condition that may support a decision for outside referral, or obtaining from a specific modality of treatment.
