Crown Point Neck Pain Doctor

“Sticking your neck out for someone” refers to you risking something valuable to help someone out. And your neck is precisely that: it is a valuable part of your body, made more so by its usefulness and its fragility. The neck is made up of many tiny, interlocking bones and muscles, all meant to add support, protect your spine, and facilitate your ability to see and react to whatever life may throw your way. All of this combines to form one very troubling fact: neck injuries are common, and they can severely impact your ability to live life! For that very reason, it is essential that you seek professional medical services if you have hurt your neck. Your loss of flexibility, visibility and comfort can be genuinely disheartening, especially when it is accompanied by debilitating agony or weeks of immobility. Get in touch with our Crown Point neck pain doctor to start down your path of recovery.

Types of Neck Pain

Neck pain comes in many varieties a few of the most common are:

• Sore muscles – everyone has had a sore neck before, especially if you’ve ever played contact sports or been in a car accident. Your muscles let you move your neck and head in one direction or another, adding to your visibility. However, straining these muscles can lead to soreness, stiffness and a whole lot of pain!
• Muscle spasms: Unlike sore muscles, spasms can cause sudden, involuntary tightening of your neck muscles and shooting pain through your neck. Where muscle soreness is a slow onset, spasms usually hit immediately.
• Herniated discs: Small “discs” protect the delicate bones of your spine and the bundles of nerves they surround. When one of these disks cracks or compresses, it can cause inescapable agony, as well as numbness and tingling from your nerves being touched.
• Joint pain: the main joint connecting your head to your neck, or the smaller joints of your neck’s vertebrae can become inflamed or painful, lowering your mobility.

Whether your neck pain falls into one of these categories or another, we may be able to help lessen your symptoms and improve your mobility again.

Treatments for Neck Pain

There are many treatments for neck pain available at Kouimanis Chiropractic. To determine which option — or options — is best for you, we take the time to get to know your preferences and medical history. A chiropractic correction, for instance, might be great for a young man,  but might be less optimal for an older individual suffering from osteoporosis. When we prescribe a treatment method, it is always aimed to treat the individual, not the condition best. However, some of our common treatment methods include:

• Chiropractic corrections/spinal manipulation
• Massage therapy
• Lifestyle changes
• Physical therapy
