March 25, 2016
WHAT A PAIN IN THE NECK!
That term is no joke! Neck pain can be one of the most common and persistent pains you will endure. Neck pain self treatment is a commonly looked down upon suggestion. However, when done simply and correctly, it can be an effective regimen to add to your daily self-care routine.
As a Chiropractor in Tigard OR I get a lot of questions regarding “What can I do on my own for my neck pain?” The short answer is: do something! Get out there and move around; our bodies weren’t meant to sit around all day and this is why we have such problems. And because of all the sitting we get neck pain from developing imbalanced to our neck joints. Our head gets used to being slouched over, which brings along with it the shoulders and pain develops. This ultimately a patient ends up looking up Chiropractor in Tigard OR because of the problems that have arose from these body changes.
But What Can I Do?
Neck pain starts to become chronic because of the body changes that occur with slouched posture. Neck pain self treatment can help reduce these issues.
So we need to get some stretches to help relieve these. Dr. Justin Davis, your local Tigard OR Chiropractor, recommends self treatment for neck pain which can be found on our Neck Pain Page. This involves several types of exercises and stretches which can help decrease the pain. Further self treatment would be to change how you are sitting to be more correct and upright. You can do this by pushing your back to the chair more and sit closer to your desk. Once you’re closer to the desk lean back your upper back and shoulders into the back of the chair and make sure your screen is at eye level. This is the correct sitting position to keep that neck pain under control and keep you out of the chiropractor’s office
An assessment and further in person instruction on how we can get you out of pain can immediately get you back on track!
