Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Is your head feeling too heavy for your neck to hold up or your neck and shoulder muscles always tense and achy?
These are all common presentations we hear from our patients every day in practice and it is something chiropractic care can help with.
Modern life places a huge strain on the neck. Hours at a desk, scrolling on devices, stress, and even minor accidents can all contribute to stiffness, tension, and pain. Left untreated, neck issues can lead to recurring headaches, reduced mobility, and radiating pain into the shoulders or arms.
At Midlothian Chiropractic, we take the time to understand the cause of your neck pain and provide a safe, natural solution to restore movement and ease discomfort.
Why Choose Chiropractic for Neck Pain?
“You’ll wish you saw us years ago!”
Our Approach
We may use a combination of the following techniques:
Detailed Assessment
Our experienced chiropractors will go through a thorough health history, conduct a spinal exam checking each individual vertebrae and joint in your neck, where the vertebrae is positioned, quality of movement, checking the neck muscles to see which ones are tight or not engaging and why this is happening, also checking the positioning of your head, back and shoulders. We may conduct neurological and orthopaedic testing to assess how well the nerves in your neck are functioning and provide an accurate diagnosis of what is causing your neck pain.
Postural Assessment
Postural assessment involves using our posture screen technology to accurately assess your neck curve and overall posture. You might be surprised how much force your head can put on your neck and spine due to poor posture.
