Chiropractic Treatment for Neck Pain in Lovettsville, VA

Many people spend their days staring at their computer screens and their nights scrolling through their phones and tablets. It’s no wonder why so many of our patients complain of neck pain! Some of the symptoms associated with neck pain include:

• Muscle tightness and spasms
• Migraines and headaches
• Limited range of motion
• Pain that is aggravated by holding the head in the same position for extended periods of time (as with sitting at a desk using a computer)

Identifying the cause of your neck pain is the first step in treatment. There are many reasons why your neck might hurt, including:

• Car accidents
• Strains and sprains
• Too much screen time
• Improper sleep position
• Bone misalignments
• Fixations
• Cervical disc problems

When you come to our office for your first visit, we’ll evaluate your neck to determine if it has lost part of its curve or if we see signs that any of your discs have degenerated.

In a body that is structurally healthy, the curve in your neck places your head in a position that is centered right above your shoulders in order to evenly distribute your head’s weight. The result is that equal pressure is placed on each of the discs in the spine.

When the head is moved forward slightly—something we commonly observe in patients who spend a lot of time behind screens—the pressure on the discs in the neck and upper back increases. We see chronic neck pain, back pain, and headaches in these patients.

Our chiropractors use chiropractic adjustments to relieve neck pain and its associated symptoms. We also instruct you on exercises and stretches to do at home in order to improve your posture and reposition your head for lasting results.
