  • Poor posture
  • Cervical disc herniation
  • Pinched nerve
  • Age-related wear and tear on the cervical spine
  • Whiplash
  • Overuse of cell phones, laptops, tablets, and other digital devices
  • Physical trauma to the neck due to sports injuries, falls, auto-collisions, work-related injuries, and other accidents

What Are the Symptoms of Neck Pain?

The symptoms of neck pain might depend on the underlying cause. In most serious cases, the patient may experience neck muscle stiffness, dull aching, restricted range of motion to the head and shoulders, muscle tingling, burning, and neck pain. 

Can I Prevent Neck Pain?

While neck pains are not entirely preventable, there are certain lifestyle changes you can implement to avoid some neck pains. These include frequent stretching, avoiding physical activities likely to strain your neck, and practicing good seating and sleeping posture. 

However, it can be important to note that accident-related neck pains are not preventable if the injury has already occurred but seeing a chiropractor when you sustain a neck injury can help.

How Can a Chiropractor Help with Neck Pains?

Chiropractors are trained in diagnosing and treating neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems conditions, including neck pains, using non-invasive techniques. As such, they will use their expertise and tools to identify and treat pain areas to help you regain your normalcy.

Whether you suffer from whiplash, cervical disc herniation, neck sprain, or strain, our Boca Raton chiropractor might use a combination of treatments to develop a care plan to correct the problem and alleviate the neck pain.

For instance, we might use massage therapy and therapeutic exercises to increase circulation and relieve neck pain. If you suffer from tense muscles, we can use therapeutic stretches and other rehab exercises to flex them up and reduce inflammation. We might also teach you the best exercises and what to avoid at home to enhance recovery.
