The neck's sensitivity to injury and pain is due in part to biomechanics. Events and activities that affect cervical biomechanics are repetitive movements, falls, accidents, extended sitting, blows to the head or body, wear and tear, and normal aging. Neck pain can be a hindrance to your daily life, and it can have several causes, including the following:

• Accidents and Injury
• Growing Older
• Osteoarthritis
• Spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Poor posture
• Obesity
• Weak abdominal muscles

How We Can Help You With Your Neck Pain

What to expect? Our chiropractor in Greensboro, NC will ask some questions regarding your health history during the first visit and do a physical examination, focusing on your spine. Our chiropractor may also suggest other tests or exams like X-rays for further diagnosis.

What happened during the procedure? During the usual chiropractic adjustment or treatment, our chiropractor puts you in a certain position to treat affected areas. Most of the time, you are placed lying face down in a padded and specially designed chiropractic table. Our chiropractor utilizes his hands to apply a sudden or controlled force to a joint by pushing it beyond the usual movement. You may hear cracking or popping sounds as our chiropractor moves the joints while you're in the treatment session. 

What happened after the procedure? Some individuals may notice minor effects after the chiropractic adjustment or treatment. It may include fatigue, headaches, and pain in the areas of the body that were treated.

The Results of Our Chiropractic Care for Your Neck Pain

Chiropractic care is effective in treating lower back pain. Some of the studies show a modest benefit of chiropractic treatment and adjustment, the same results you can get from the more conventional type of medical treatments. The spinal manipulation we perform is also an effective procedure for other spine-related injuries and headaches. 

Not everybody will respond to chiropractic care and treatment. Sometimes, it's a case-to-case basis, and it will depend on a particular situation. If the symptoms don't disappear or show no improvement after weeks of chiropractic treatment, a special manipulation and adjustment might be a good option.
