Chiropractors can help with a variety of neck injuries, including:
▪ Whiplash: This is a common injury that occurs when the neck is suddenly jerked back and forth, often in a car accident.
▪ Neck strain/sprain: These injuries involve the overstretching or tearing of neck muscles or ligaments.
▪ Herniated discs: These occur when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer.
▪ Pinched nerves: This can happen when a herniated disc or bone spur compresses a nerve in the neck.
▪ Degenerative disc disease: This is a condition that causes the discs in the spine to break down and lose their cushioning.
▪ Postural problems: Poor posture can lead to neck pain and stiffness.
▪ Headaches: Headaches could be caused by either the muscles or joints of your neck
▪ Migraines: Tight musculature or stuck joints might contribute to migraine formation
▪ Jaw Pain: Neck tightness and stiffness can cause jaw pain and TMJ
Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to treat neck injuries, including:
▪ Spinal manipulation: This involves applying controlled force to the spine to improve joint mobility and reduce pain.
▪ Soft tissue therapy: This includes techniques such as cupping and scraping therapy to relieve muscle tension and pain.
▪ Rehabilitation exercises: These exercises can help to strengthen the neck muscles and improve flexibility.
