Seeing a chiropractor can help you relieve chronic neck pain. Chiropractors focus on making sure your spine is aligned correctly and that the many nerves in your neck are working as they should.

A misalignment (or subluxation) is when one or more of the bones in your neck becomes displaced, which can put pressure on the brachial plexus and cause pain. To get relief from this neck pain, it’s important to work with a Chiropractor in getting the misalignment corrected, relieving the tension, and letting your neck heal properly.

What Causes Neck Pain?

Neck pain can come from a number of different sources. In many cases, it’s the result of a problem with your spine that may have been there for some time without you realizing it.

Neck pain can be caused by:

  • Arthritis
  • Bulging or pinched disks
  • Injury involving the neck

The longer neck pain goes untreated, the more likely it becomes that you’ll begin to experience a combination of muscle spasms and stiffness. Neck pain can also lead to headaches and difficulty sleeping at night.  If this sounds like something you suffer from on a regular basis, chiropractic treatment could help speed up your recovery so you can feel better in no time.

Symptoms of a misaligned or subluxated vertebra may include:

  • Neck pain that gets worse when you turn your head or look up or down
  • Stiffness in your neck
  • Tingling, numbness, burning, or weakness in one arm (usually but not always on the same side as the problem)
  • Headaches

Our chiropractic team in St. Louis will do an examination to find out where your spine is causing problems and causing neck pain. Then we’ll work with you on treatment options to get you on the path to recovery.

Stretches to Help with Chronic Neck Pain

At home, you can try to alleviate some neck pain issues by doing stretches on a regular basis. Here are some good stretches for your neck that can help with discomfort.

  • Neck Flexion Stretch
  • Neck Extension Stretch
  • Chin Tuck Stretch
  • Scalene Stretch
  • Upper TrapStretch
  • Sternocleidomastoid stretch
  • Pectoralis Minor stretch

Doing your own stretches does not necessarily fix the underlying problem. It’s still recommended to see our Chiropractic team in St. Louis to take care of the underlying cause of your neck pain, make sure your spine is aligned properly, and promote proper healing of your neck.

Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain in St. Louis

If you’re experiencing neck pain, you need to see our chiropractors for an exam. We’ll work with you on developing a treatment plan that includes stretching, strengthening exercises, and specific chiropractic adjustments to fix the problem. This will restore your spine to its proper alignment so you can feel better now and in the future.

Chiropractic care is different than other types of medical treatments because it focuses on restoring normal function to your body through your spine instead of masking or suppressing symptoms with medication. Our chiropractor will make sure nothing is causing the misalignment (such as arthritis), prescribe stretches and exercises like those above, and help get things back in working order.

If you’re experiencing chronic neck pain, don’t wait another day before scheduling an appointment with our Chiropractic team.
