What’s causing my neck pain?  

Acute injuries are a common cause of neck pain. If you recently suffered an auto, work, or sports accident, you may be experiencing pain from torn muscles or dislocated joints in your cervical spine. Accidents can also dislocate vertebrae in your spine, causing them to put pressure on spinal nerves, resulting in pain.

Poor posture, degenerative disc conditions, arthritis, and muscle strain from overuse of digital devices can also put a strain on neck muscles and cause pain.  

Besides pain, what other symptoms do neck injuries or conditions cause?

In addition to pain, you may experience frequent headaches, neck soreness and stiffness, arm weakness or numbness, loss of neck flexibility, restricted range of motion, and loss of sleep due to neck injuries or conditions.

What is whiplash and how does it cause neck pain?

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by hyperextension of the neck due to a sudden trauma, such as a rear end auto collision. Pain may result from torn muscles and connective tissues in your neck, herniated disc in your spine, or misalignments pressing on spinal nerves.

How do chiropractors treat neck pain?

Our Temple, TX chiropractor will review your medical history to see if there are underlying health issues that may be contributing to your pain. We’ll then perform an evaluation to determine the nature and cause of your condition. Once we have this information, we can make a plan for treatment. Our treatments consist of chiropractic techniques like adjustments and natural therapies like soft tissue massage to relieve pain and help you heal.

Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment to your cervical spine. This relieves muscle and joint tension in your neck to reduce pain and improve flexibility. Massage also eases muscle tension and improves circulation to soft tissue injuries to help them heal quicker.

What are the benefits of chiropractic neck pain relief?

Chiropractic care is a safe, minimally invasive, drug-free means of relieving pain caused by muscle, joint, ligament, or connective tissue injuries. Our chiropractor uses holistic methods to treat neck pain and its cause to put you on the road to recovery.
