Neck Pain Treatment

Woman at desk with neck painThe human neck is flexible, making it easy for you to turn your head and have a full view. This flexibility, however, means that the neck is prone to strain and injury, resulting in pain and restricting your range of motion. Our experienced team can help you regain your health and find relief from your neck pain.

You might find that you have neck pain or a stiff neck due to poor posture or overuse. Occasionally, it can be due to an accident such as a fall, a motor vehicle accident causing whiplash or a contact sport. Sitting at a desk all day can also take its toll, putting strain on your neck from hunching over.

Time Heals Many Neck Problems

In most cases, neck pain goes away within a few days and can feel better after applying an ice pack to the area. If it lasts for more than a week, however, medical intervention may be required. Our team treats a variety of neck-related issues, including:

  • Acute wry neck
  • Arthritis
  • Facet dysfunction
  • Headaches
  • Muscle tension
  • Sprain/strain
  • Stenosis
  • TMJ dysfunction
  • Whiplash

Prevent or Reduce Your Neck Pain

If you’d like to avoid your neck problem worsening, relieve your discomfort or prevent neck pain from occurring, there are some easy tips you can follow:

  • Move your joints around to ensure your mobility.
  • Place an ice pack on the painful area regularly.
  • Place your monitor at eye level with your gaze resting in the middle of the screen. Books or a stand can be used to adjust the height.
  • Practice stretching and strengthening exercises like chin tucks to build the strength in your neck.
  • Reduce your time looking at a phone or tablet. Try moving your mobile up to eye level when texting or scrolling through. Your head should be kept from going over your shoulders.
  • Use a foam roller, therapy ball or tennis ball in the upper back to get rid of trigger points.
