Neck pain is one of the most common reasons patients visit our chiropractors in Christchurch and Ferndown. It can range from mild stiffness to severe discomfort that affects everyday activities and may be associated with symptoms such as headaches, shoulder pain or pain radiating into the arm.
The key to effective neck pain treatment is identifying the underlying cause. At Kasper & Gray Chiropractic, our chiropractors specialise in the assessment, diagnosis and management of neck pain. Following a thorough examination, we create personalised treatment plans that may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, stretching and targeted rehabilitation exercises to help reduce pain and restore normal movement.
Alongside treatment, we can also recommend simple neck exercises and posture advice that you can do at home to support your recovery and help prevent future episodes of neck pain. You can try some simple neck exercises at home to help alleviate your pain.
Over time repetitive postures such as working at a desk, the way you stand and how you sleep can build up tension. Repetitive strain can irritate the muscles, joints and nerves in your neck and shoulders.
Hormones released by stress result in muscles guarding which can lead to painful tension developing in the neck muscles and joints. We can also experience a huge amount of micro-stresses which build up day on day, eventually leading to neck and shoulder symptoms.
Car accidents, falls, and other old injuries can result in neck pain. Sometimes these injuries take a long time to present after the accident, for example, these injuries can weaken the muscles and ligaments in the neck, which can cause postural changes and result in pain years later.
