Neck Pain Sufferers Find Relief With Midlothian Chiropractor

By Matt Chaderia


Neck pains are regularly addressed in Midlothian VA chiropractic offices.

It is a common misconception that chiropractors only deal with lower back pain, because in truth, they routinely address all varieties of spinal issues, including those in the neck.

If you have a stiff or painful neck, then it is entirely possible that you have a subluxation - a misalignment - of the cervical spine, or an imbalance where the skull rests on the top of the neck. Problems in the neck can also cause pain in the shoulders, arms and hands - and even headaches. Neck pain is common - about 15% of US adults will experience it in any given year.

Neck pain can be caused by an injury or it can come on slowly over time. Although most neck pain is simply a strain or sprain, which will heal quickly, it can also be caused by disc problems or arthritis in the neck or irritation of nerves.

Regardless of the root cause, chiropractors can help with the issue, including those developing as strains and sprains from bad sleep positions, automobile accidents, sports injuries, or poor posture. The common action of holding a phone between one's head and shoulder routinely, or for a prolonged time, could bring about such discomforts.

Occasionally neck issues might call for the application of additional measures, including counseling on nutrition and therapeutic massage. However, most only require advice on how to change certain activities such as sleeping positions and sitting habits, in order to prevent the issues returning after a spinal adjustment. Both pain and the medications many take to dull it, have the tendency to disrupt one's life routine. Chiropractors utilize methods that will pose no negative affects, yet will alleviate the situation quickly.

If you have a pain in your neck, consider a Midlothian VA chiropractic clinic - just call and find out what they can do for you.
