How Your Chiropractor Can Help With Neck and Back Pain

So, why should you see a chiropractor for neck and back pain? Your chiropractor is an expert at how the body moves. Your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones all work together to help your neck and back move. When you are experiencing pain in your neck and back, it can dramatically affect your daily life.

Some of the most common causes of neck and back pain include:

• A vehicular accident
• A sports injury
• Poor posture
• Poor body mechanics
• Aging and arthritis
• Poor physical condition

Your chiropractor will begin with a thorough examination of your neck and back, which may include imaging studies. Your chiropractor will also evaluate your posture, which is often a main contributor to neck and back pain.

Your chiropractor will use natural methods to tap into your body’s natural healing abilities. Some of the treatments your chiropractor may recommend for neck and back pain include:

• Thermal therapies, with the application of ice and heat to reduce swelling, boost blood flow, and promote healing
• Manual cervical and spinal adjustments to realign bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments
• Exercises and physical therapy to increase flexibility, strength, and range of motion
• Massage and physiotherapy to help relax and lengthen tight, tense muscles, tendons, and ligaments
