SUFFERING FROM NECK PAIN?

Stuart, FL Neck Pain

Over the past 20+ years we've had the privilege of helping patients all across the Treasure Coast with their neck pain.

Our clinic is different in that we dig, find, and FIX the root cause of the neck pain. We don't simply "mask" the symptom with a medication.

We'll determine the cause which will then determine our

course of action. In other words, a herniated / bulging disc will require different treatment than misalignments / subluxation.

We also have different methods of reducing / minimizing INFLAMMATION in the body...so we'll look at things from a nutritional perspective and make recommendations that will reduce inflammation in the body.

If you're struggling with chronic neck pain and can't get to the bottom of it, then give our clinic a call. Our methods are safe, natural, and highly effective.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR NECK PAIN

Even though the neck is a relatively small area of the body, it is comprised of some complicated structures which do the important job of holding your head up. The small size of the vertebrae of the neck allows for a lot of mobility, but can also make the neck more vulnerable to injury and pain.

Most of these issues are either caused by or impact, the alignment of the spine. When muscles in the neck go into spasm, the spine gets pulled out of alignment. When the spine is misaligned, the nerves become irritated and cause further tension and other systemic problems. Because every nerve in the body has its root in the spinal column, issues that have their source at the neck can have a major impact throughout every other system.

Many people let spinal problems go uncorrected. They hope that if they wait long enough the pain will simply go away. In some cases it will go away, but the misalignment that caused the problem is usually still there. Over time, that area can become aggravated, and the pain can return. If the problem is not corrected it can become much more serious. Some patients let things go to the point where surgery may be the only option.

OUR APPROACH IS UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT

Most people try to deal with their neck pain using prescription or over-the-counter drugs. This may help to relieve the symptoms in the short-term, but not only are patients dealing with side effects, the underlying issue goes unaddressed.

Chiropractic treatment is a natural practice that addresses the structural cause that leads to the majority neck pain. Following a thorough chiropractic assessment aimed at ruling out other issues and finding the exact source of the problem, a personalized recovery plan is developed. Gentle adjustments to the spine can bring instant relief and restore long term health to the neck and the entire body. Call our team at Coastal Medical and Wellness Center today to set up a consultation and bring an end to the pain in your neck.

COMMON CAUSES OF NECK PAIN

There can be numerous causes of neck pain. Let's explore some of the most common causes.

Subluxation

Subluxation refers to the mechanical compression and irritation to spinal joints and nerves. Misalignments in your spine (subluxation), especially those located near the top of your spine at your neck, can keep your brain stem from being fully protected and affect the function of every organ in your entire body. What are some of the reasons WHY subluxations develop? Common causes include poor posture, text neck (too much cell phone use) eating an inflammatory diet, injuries, degenerative diseases, stress, repetitive movements, and a sedentary lifestyle. In our clinic we'll do a thorough examination / analysis to determine WHERE subluxation is and the impact it's having on your health.

Muscle Strain & Ligament Sprain

A neck sprain or strain can happen suddenly OR can develop slowly over time from repetitive movements. Strains occur when a muscle is stretched too far and tears, damaging the muscle itself. Sprains happen when over-stretching and tearing affects ligaments, which connect the bones together.

Herniated Disc

The center of a cervical disc is like jelly & can break through the tough outer layer and irritate the nerve root(s). The herniated portion of the disc is full of proteins that cause inflammation when they reach a nerve, and inflammation as well as nerve compression cause excruciating pain. The disc wall is also supplied by nerve fibers, and a tear through the wall can cause severe pain.

Degenerative Disc Disease

As people age over time, discs lose hydration and wear down. As the disc loses hydration / water, it cannot resist forces as well, and forces to the disc wall may develop tears and cause pain or weakening that can lead to a herniation. The disc can also collapse and contribute to stenosis.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis results from wear and tear of the disc and facet joints. It causes pain, inflammation, instability, and stenosis to a variable degree. Spinal osteoarthritis is associated with aging and is slowly progressive. It is also referred to as degenerative joint disease.

Trauma

Fractures or dislocations of the spine can lead to pain. Neck pain that develops after a trauma, such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall, should be medically evaluated immediately.
